The Complexities of Anesthesia Billing

Appropriate and accurate documentation is essential for anesthesia billing compliance, reimbursement, and medical-legal issues. Without proper documentation, your facility won't be able to validate the anesthesia services performed. We work with the anesthesia providers to educate them on the importance of documentation. We also evaluate the workflow and processing of electronic charges or paper claims.

The payor mix and payor guidelines for care delivery and documentation affect your anesthesia services and billing. You can review your facility's payor Local Coverage Determinations (LCDs) here.

All cases must be documented with an anesthesia record through paper or EMR documentation.

Calculating Anesthesia Charges

Anesthesia service charges aren't calculated like other medical services. The formula for calculating anesthesia charges is:

(Base units + Time units + Modifying units) x Conversion factor = Anesthesia charges

Let's take a closer look at each component of this formula.

Anesthesia Base Units

The ASA (American Society of Anesthesiologists) assigns base units a value that increases with the procedures' complexity.

Anesthesia Time Units

Anesthesia time begins when the anesthesia provider starts prepping the patient and ends when the patient is safely released to postoperative supervision.

Anesthesia Modifying Units

Modifiers are two-character indicators that modify payments or identify relevant details on a claim. They identify relevant factors like the patient's age, systemic disease, physical status, or emergencies.

Conversion Factor

The conversion factor is a rate specific to each carrier and procedure location. The list of conversion factors is published yearly by the CMS.
