Wiki Please help with anesthesia time reporting

[cherylbr]

I have submitted an anesthesia claim to PA Medicare for anesthesia start time of 1120 pm date of service 10-31-19 thru 1210 am date of service 11-01-19. Medicare doesn't like the over midnight, they are stating date range not valid with units submitted. Can anyone tell me how this should be reported?

Thank you!
Cheryl

They probably want one claim with 11:20-11:59 for dos 10/31 and the other for 00:00-00:10 for dos 11/01/19.

We send out the beginning day on both ends. So it would be 11:20 on 10/31 to 00:10 on 10/31. This makes sense to Medicare.
