Anesthesiology & Pain Management
Ensure consistent revenue cycle management with QB’s anesthesia billing services.
Anesthesiology plays a critical role in perioperative care, managing patient conditions before, during, and after surgery. Anesthesia providers are responsible for creating anesthetic plans, administering anesthetics, and overseeing pain management during procedures. They also work to optimize the patient’s medical status for a safe and successful outcome. Given the complexity of these tasks, anesthesia providers don’t need the added responsibility of managing the intricate details of anesthesia and pain management billing. That’s where QB’s specialized billing services can help.

Anesthesia Billing Requirements
Proper documentation is crucial for accurate anesthesia billing. One of the biggest challenges in anesthesia billing is ensuring detailed and correct documentation. At QB, we understand the importance of coding accurately, using appropriate modifiers, reporting qualifying circumstances, and calculating time correctly for anesthesia services. Below is what anesthesia providers need to know about documentation.
Pre-Anesthesia Assessment
This step involves a thorough review of the patient’s medical history, physical condition, and risk factors to determine the appropriate anesthetic dosage.
Anesthesia Report
The anesthesia report includes the following key components:
Base Units: Reflecting the complexity and skill required for the procedure, with more complex services earning higher base units.
Time Units: Reflecting the time spent administering anesthesia and monitoring the patient before, during, and after the procedure.
Modifiers: Used to identify the anesthesia provider, indicate MAC services when applicable, and assign physical status modifiers.
Post-Anesthesia Assessment
After surgery, the anesthesia provider, along with the post-anesthesia care unit (PACU) team, reviews the patient’s condition to ensure proper pain management and that there are no complications resulting from the anesthesia.
By outsourcing your anesthesia billing to QB, you can ensure that your practice runs efficiently, minimizes errors, and maximizes reimbursements, allowing you to focus on providing exceptional patient care.
