Check a contract rate as a % of Medicare · 00300 nationwide

Medicare allowed amount for participating (non-QP) physicians, before deductible, coinsurance and claim adjustments. Not a patient’s bill or a hospital charge.

What 00300 covers

This service covers anesthesia for operations involving skin, muscles, or nerves in the head, neck, or posterior trunk. Typical cases include removal or repair of skin lesions on the scalp, face, or back, and surgery involving muscles or nerves in these regions. An anesthesiologist or CRNA provides and reports the anesthesia service in settings such as a hospital operating room or ambulatory surgery center; the surgeon reports the operation separately.

Choose this code for the specified tissues and regions, rather than 00320 for other neck procedures or the more specific categories for thyroid needle biopsy, larynx or trachea surgery in a child under one year, or major neck-vessel surgery. The operative report should identify the site, tissue, and procedure, while the anesthesia record supports the service and its minutes. This code has 5 base units; Medicare payment is (base units plus time units) multiplied by the locality’s anesthesia conversion factor. Time runs from when anesthesia preparation begins until personal attendance ends and the patient can safely be placed under postoperative care; CMS converts minutes into 15-minute time units to one decimal place, and the conversion factor varies by locality.

FeeBase calculates base physician payments from CMS work, practice-expense and malpractice RVUs, adjusted by each locality’s geographic indexes and the conversion factor. Services without a published rate are labeled, never given a made-up amount. Amounts are Medicare allowed amounts before claim adjustments: not a patient’s bill or a commercial rate.
