How would you code this scenario: Labor epidural is placed by CRNA (non medically directed) then a second CRNA (non medically directed) from the same group peforms the C-section? My opinion is 01967 for the first and 01968 for the second, however, we have been approached by another biller who recommends 01967 for the 1st and 01961 for the second. Other opinions??

For what my opinion, and what we currently do here, is worth...
We bill the same no matter if the epidural is the same day of the c-section or not.
We also use 01967 and 01968.
