What 00732 covers

ERCP anesthesia supports an endoscopist using an upper gastrointestinal endoscope to examine or treat the biliary and pancreatic ducts. Anesthesiologists and CRNAs provide it in hospital and ambulatory settings while the endoscopist performs duct imaging, sampling, stone removal, or stent work.

Choose 00732 for ERCP anesthesia, including biliary or pancreatic duct interventions during that endoscopic session; 00731 is for other upper gastrointestinal endoscopic procedures. Operative documentation should identify ERCP and its interventions, and the anesthesia record should show the anesthesia care and start and end times. This code has 6 base units; Medicare payment is (base units + time units) multiplied by the locality’s anesthesia conversion factor. Anesthesia time runs from when the practitioner begins preparing the patient until the practitioner is no longer in personal attendance and the patient can safely be placed under postoperative care; minutes are converted to 15-minute units to one decimal place.

This summary was written with AI assistance from CMS physician fee schedule data and checked against the CMS billing rules shown here. Rates on this page come directly from CMS files.

00732 billing questions

When should I choose 00732 instead of 00731?

Use 00732 for ERCP anesthesia. Use 00731 for anesthesia for other upper gastrointestinal endoscopic procedures.

Does each ERCP treatment maneuver need a separate anesthesia code?

No. Duct maneuvers performed during the same ERCP anesthesia session, such as evaluation and treatment, are covered by the anesthesia service for that encounter.

What documentation supports reporting 00732?

The operative report should establish that the procedure was ERCP and identify its interventions. The anesthesia record should support the anesthesia care and its start and end times.

How are anesthesia time units calculated?

Time is reported in minutes and converted to 15-minute units rounded to one decimal place. For example, 38 minutes equals 2.5 time units.

How does Medicare pay when an anesthesiologist medically directs a CRNA?

Medicare pays each practitioner 50% of the allowance for the personally performed service when medical direction applies.

Where these rates come from

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.
