Is anyone billing anesthesia as a hospital based provider where the anesthesia is billed with the hospital bill and getting paid for the physical modifiers P3-P5 or the extreme age modifier 99100 from Medicare?
Yes, we code for the physical status modifiers P3-P5 and get paid from Medicare. We do not bill for the 99100 age modifier (Medicare will not pay for it or emergencies (99140).)
