Anesthesia provider here...If you have pain block or multiple pain blocks, if a provider leaves off laterality on the block, or puts on one but leaves off the second, do you add since the intent and op note states? Or do you inquire with provider to add modifier?
Inquiring because our rules require us to have the provider add laterality before we send out government claims. Is it necessary to hold out claims while we wait to see IF they add it, when we can basically prove what side?
