Wiki Port a cath and mac

[WEBBSURFN]

If the surgeon places the port a cath (36566) and the anesthesiologist using MAC anesthesia which anesthesia code do you use the only thing I can come up with is 00532. I need help with this one.

yes, 00532=4 is the correct crosscode on the 2009 ASA crosswalk book.

Thanks I thought I was right but wanted to make sure. We use encoder pro and that would not give me the anesthesia code.
