Billing Accuracy of Peripheral Nerve Blocks as the Primary Anesthetic Performed in the Preoperative Holding Area: A Comparison Between Block Team and Intraoperative Anesthesia Team
Billing for nerve blocks can be complex due to the current reimbursement models in the United States. Adequate documentation of anesthesia start (Astart) is essential to improve billing for regional anesthesia. We hypothesized that the involvement of a specialized regional anesthesia team would lead to increased billing efficiency and more accurate documentation of AStart.
