If CPT code lists "includes local anesthesia" in description, like codes 11300-11305, does that mean anesthesia is required in order to bill that code?
 
No, it only means that any anesthesia used during the procedure is already included in the code (and the payment). The provider cannot code or charge separately for the local anesthesia.
