Anesthesiology
medical billing
Time units, modifiers and concurrency rules make anesthesia billing unlike any other specialty.
Where it leaks
Why this specialty
loses money.
Anesthesia is billed on time units rather than a flat procedure fee, so a few minutes recorded loosely changes what the claim is worth. Add medical direction and concurrency rules, and the same case billed by two people can produce two different amounts — both defensible, only one correct.
What makes it different
- Base units plus time units, not a single procedure fee
- Medical direction and concurrency modifiers (QK, QY, QZ, AD)
- Start and stop times reconciled against the anesthesia record
- Physical status modifiers that payers treat inconsistently
How it is covered
The same eight disciplines,
tuned to this specialty.
Anesthesiology billing is not a separate service — it is the same revenue cycle, with the rules that matter here applied at each stage. The assessment reviews all eight against your own data.
