Wiki MAC provided in a Dentist Office

[missyah20]

Good Afternoon,
Does anyone have information on how we would bill for Monitored Anesthesia care provided by a CRNA for procedures provided in a Dentist office. Would we bill 00170 to just the patient's Medical insurance?

The CRNA would be utilized for surgical extraction of impacted teeth, dental implants, etc.

Any additional information and/or resources would be helpful.

Thank you!

Yes bill medical insurance, example of a primary diagnosis is 521.00. Additional diagnoses can be used to describe certain conditions that patient might have which require MAC performed by a CRNA in that setting.
