If I have a physican go in and give a OB epidural and another physican goes in 15 minutes afterward and believes it needs to be replaced and does so, can I bill for both placements?

We have a cap on our OB start and stop time.

Thank you!
 
I am not familiar with OB epidurals but I did find something that seemed like it sounded correct when I searched on the internet and found a thread from this list from 09

Below I copied the response from another forum member:


"Please refer to the complete CPT description of ASA code 01967. It includes initial placement "and/or any necessary replacement" therefore no additional/separate charge is warranted for replacement."
