Tap block during a surgery. Can these be billed by the surgeon performing the surgery and not the anesthesiologist. Thank you

Per Medicare Global Surgery rules, the physician performing an operative procedure is responsible for treating postoperative pain. Treatment of postoperative pain by the operating physician is not separately reportable.
