I have a patient that came into the Emergency Room with a shoulder dislocation. The CRNA came down and administered Versed to the patient, and the ER doctor reduced the disclocation. The patient is 66 and was under for a total of 20 minutes. Would you bill a 99149-QZ (our CRNA's are not under the direction of an anesthesiologist) for the CRNA's part of the service? Am I correct in saying that this is considered moderate conscious sedation, and is this the only cpt code we would bill for the CRNA?
Thanks
