Wiki Circumcision / Anesthesia charges

[burninmony]

Could someone help with the correct way to charge for circs and the anes when OB is giving anes. Was billing 54150/64450-47 was told incorrect and s/b 54150/54150-47 but not getting pd billing this way??? Any help greatly appreciated.

CPT code 54150 includes regional dorsal penile or ring block. It is my impression that the only code you would need to report is the 54150.

Clarification

Has anyone been succesful in getting reimbursed with either method??? We have been using 54150 and 00920-51 and it seems as though sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't. Is there a correct standard for this?
