Anesthesiology Billing FAQ's

How do you ensure the anesthesia time unit calculation is accurate in different payer rules? +

It is our practice to note the exact start and end times and then compare them with the requirements of each payer. In this way, we avoid both underbilling and overbilling, and the time units are always in line with the documentation.

What measures do you implement to raise the authorization approval rate for anesthesia-related requests? +

We do a thorough verification of the coverage even before the appointment is scheduled, and additionally, we provide all the necessary clinical notes or exact details of the procedure early. Thereby, the occurrence of last-minute cancellations and disallowed authorizations is greatly reduced.

How do you manage the add-on codes for the risk, the emergency cases, or the special anesthesia conditions? +

Add-on codes such as 99100, 99116, 99135, and 99140 are those that are utilized only when the corresponding documentation is available. Every submission is examined to ensure that the add-on code is the proper complement of the main anesthesia code.

What do you do to manage anesthesia that is performed concurrently on different patients? +

We not only check for concurrency regulations, but we also make the overlaps clear in our documentation, and we insert the correct modifiers. In this way, we ascertain that the procedures are in line with the rules and that payments are accurately made for every healthcare provider who participated.

What measures do you take to keep anesthesia-related code 00100 to 01999 denials from happening? +

Every code goes hand in hand with the documented operations, anesthesia kind, time, and patient status. Submission of claims is only done after a careful match of payer policies with the claims to be filed.

Can you handle the billing of anesthesia services as well as postoperative pain management? +

Yeah. We separate anesthesia time from postoperative pain services and corresponding E and M visits. It is done to make sure that services are not bundled incorrectly.

How do you deal with physical status modifiers in order to get the right remuneration? +

Modifiers such as P1 to P6 are put in by our team depending on clinical documentation. Our people look through preoperative notes to ensure correctness and provide the grounds for getting the money.

What do you do when payers challenge anesthesia time or ask for additional proof? +

We bring all the time logs, details of the procedure, and the provider's notes to the table. We also escalate with supporting documentation to resolve the issue quickly if necessary.

How do you assist practices in the lowering of payment delays for anesthesia cases that are high-risk or emergencies? +

Emergency and high-risk add-on codes are examined in detail, filed along with full documentation, and tracked through the follow-up process to facilitate the smooth flow of work and thus avoid the occurrence of unnecessary delays.

What reporting can anesthesia groups use to track their financial performance? +

We have reports that detail the breakdown of time units, concurrency, the use of add-on codes, denials, payment patterns, and payer behavior. The availability of these pieces of information is instrumental in making operational and financial decisions.
