Patient is having two different procedures done on the same hand.
One procedure is for a work comp related injury; the other isn't. Both procedures crosswalk to the same anesthesia code.

Question:
Can this be sent to work comp for all (time & base) or do I have to split it up.

Example:
w/c = 5bu + time units
ins = -0- bu + time units

This is how we did it once upon a time, however, it's been years since I've seen a case like this & am looking to confirm this is still accurate.
