Howdy All,
I need some help. I code for a pain management group (2 doctors). When we bill a procudure ie: nerve block one doctor does the nerve block and the other does the anesthesia (not concious sedation). Here is my question... One of the doctors has gone on vacation and the other doctor has contracted a CNRA to help administer the anesthesia. The performing provider has paid the CNRA for her services therefore will not be billing her services to the insurance. How do I get the anesthesia services paid? Would I use the 47 modifier and is this something Medicare will pay for?
Thank you,
Anita Hudson, CPC
