Anesthesiology deals with the total perioperative care of patients before, during, and after surgery. The core element of the specialty is the use of anesthesia and anesthetics to safely support the vital functions of a patient through the perioperative period.

The role of an anesthesiologist is to administer the right dosage of drugs so that the patient does not feel any pain or regain consciousness during surgery. They are also responsible for waking the patient post-surgery. They monitor the patient’s vitals keenly during surgery and alter the dosage administered accordingly.

Components of Anesthesia Billing Anesthesia billing can become complicated as it requires documentation of a high number of records, such as:

The pre-operative review consists of the patient’s and their family’s medical history, drug, or tobacco habits that have to be taken into account while calculating the required dosage of anesthetics.

The Anesthesia sheet involves the documentation of the following:

• Base Units: The complexity and skills involved in delivering the services form the Base Units.
• Time Units: This is the time spent with the patient administering the anesthetic or monitoring the patient’s condition before, after, or during the surgery.
• Modifiers: These modifiers are essential for clarifying whether an anesthesia procedure was personally performed, medically directed, or medically supervised by an anesthesiologist.
• Formula: (Base Units + Time Units + Modifiers) x Conversion Factor = Anesthesia Reimbursement
• Post-operative Review. The post-operative review consists of records that state that the patient has not suffered any complications due to the anesthetic administered.
