Reimbursement policy reminder Professional Anesthesia Services (Professional)

Beginning January 1, 2024, Empire became Anthem. This article, published under the former brand, now applies to Anthem.

As a reminder, anesthesia modifiers must be appended to the applicable procedure code to indicate the specific anesthesia service or to indicate who performed the service. Modifiers identifying who performed the anesthesia service must be billed in the primary modifier field to receive appropriate reimbursement.
