Hello! I am new to anesthesia coding. I didn't see this topic addressed previously. Any help be greatly appreciated.
Our anesthesiologist indicates a break in supervision time (15 minutes break, for example), how would you enter that? Our PM, Advanced MD, auto-calculates the units when we enter the time period of anesthesia. I tried to enter the code onto two different lines with a 59 modifier appended to the second time period but it didn't pass the edits software.
Anybody have a suggestion?
Thank you!!
