 Anesthesia DELETED Codes 01935, 01936 in 2022 and Welcome New Codes 01937, 01938 Pay Attention to these Anesthesia codes from January 1, 2022. Deleted Anesthesia Codes 01935 Anesthesia for percutaneous image guided procedures on the spine and spinal cord; diagnostic (5 base) 01936 Anesthesia for percutaneous image guided procedures on the spine and spinal cord; therapeutic (5 base) New Anesthesia Codes In their place are 6 new (more granular) codes. Ideally, you should have begun submitting these to payers on January 1st. However, if your billing and/or coding platform wasn’t updated in time, you can always run a report to identify such cases, so that you’re able to resubmit corrected claims. As you’ll notice, anesthesia providers effectively lost one base unit per case on most of these procedures, due to revaluation. New Anesthesia Codes 01937 Anesthesia for percutaneous image-guided injection, drainage or aspiration procedures on the spine or spinal cord; cervical or thoracic (4 base) 01938 Anesthesia for percutaneous image-guided injection, drainage or aspiration procedures on the spine or spinal cord; lumbar or sacral (4 base) 01939 Anesthesia for percutaneous image-guided destruction procedures by neurolytic agent on the spine or spinal cord; cervical or thoracic (4 base) 01940 Anesthesia for percutaneous image-guided destruction procedures by neurolytic agent on the spine or spinal cord; lumbar or sacral (4 base) 01941 Anesthesia for percutaneous image-guided neuromodulation or intravertebral procedures (eg, kyphoplasty, vertebroplasty) on the spine or spinal cord; cervical or thoracic (5 base) 01942 Anesthesia for percutaneous image-guided neuromodulation or intravertebral procedures (eg, kyphoplasty, vertebroplasty) on the spine or spinal cord; lumbar or sacral (5 base) New Anesthesia Flat Fee Codes There were also two new neurolytic procedure codes and one new TEE code added for reporting.
