Hi Group,
My anesthesia charge ticket for a labor epidural has the time as start 1352 stop 1430 then above that time the dr. wrote start 1945 stop 2005. There is no mention of the second set of time on the anesthesia record. When I questioned the dr. for a second anesthesia record this is how he responded:
There was only one bolus given at 1945 to 2005. I usually give bolus of 0.25% Bupivacaine with Fentanyl 10 mcg/cc, 3+3+4=10 cc, at the time of insertion epidural catheter and document in chart.
Do I bill this as 01967 with only the 1945 to 2005 time??
Thank you,
Karen
