I need to know if an anesthesia provider can get reimbursed for a major position change. My example: The patient is having a shoulder surgery which is going to be done, beach chair position. The anesthesiologist provided the anesthesia while patient was on the bed, then the patient was moved to the beach chair position - I don't think this is considered major position change. YES, a change in position, but is that scenario reimbursed any differently. If this isn't considered a major position change - what is an example of and how should that be documented or what modifiers should be used to get that reimbursed.
Any information is much appreciated.
