Can an anesthesiologist bill for CPT 20611? or is that not in their scope of practice?

20611: Arthrocentesis, aspiration and/or injection, major joint or bursa (eg, shoulder, hip, knee, subacromial bursa); with ultrasound guidance, with permanent recording and reporting
 
If the anesthesiologist is doing this as part of a pain practice then yes they can bill for this code.
