How would you recommend coding this situation: CRNA places the labor epidural then removes the catheter due to insufficient pain relief and places a spinal?
 
ASA code 01967 states "including replacement". The epidural was a failed/inadequate technique that converted to spinal. I would bill 01967 at your standard rate. I say standard rate because most of us have capped fees for OB anesthesia, however, I do know of other providers who still bill base plus full time units on their OB charges.
