What 00912 covers
This service covers anesthesia for transurethral endoscopic resection of a bladder tumor, commonly called TURBT. A urologist works through the urethra to resect tumor tissue from the bladder; the anesthesia practitioner provides care during the operative procedure, typically in a hospital or ambulatory surgery facility. The anesthesia claim is reported by the anesthesiologist or other qualified anesthesia practitioner who furnished the service.
Choose this code when the operative procedure is bladder tumor resection, rather than a transurethral prostate procedure, control of urinary bleeding, or ureteral stone removal. The operative report should identify the bladder tumor resection, and the anesthesia record should support the practitioner’s service and its start and end times. Medicare payment is (5 base units + time units) × the locality’s anesthesia conversion factor, which varies by locality. Anesthesia time is reported in minutes and converted to 15-minute units to one decimal place; it starts when the anesthesia practitioner begins preparing the patient and ends when the practitioner is no longer in personal attendance and the patient can safely be placed under postoperative care.

00912 billing questions
When should I choose this code instead of 00910?
Use 00912 when the operative procedure is transurethral resection of a bladder tumor. Code 00910 is for a transurethral procedure not otherwise specified.
How does this differ from anesthesia code 00916?
Code 00912 identifies anesthesia for resection of a bladder tumor. Code 00916 is for a transurethral procedure to control urinary tract bleeding.
Is the urologist’s tumor resection reported with this anesthesia code?
The anesthesia claim represents the anesthesia service, not the urologist’s bladder tumor resection. The operative procedure is reported separately by the surgeon.
What records support reporting 00912?
The operative report should show transurethral bladder tumor resection, and the anesthesia record should support the anesthesia service and its time.
How are Medicare units calculated for 00912?
The code has 5 base units. Medicare adds time units, calculated from anesthesia minutes in 15-minute units to one decimal place, and multiplies the total by the locality’s anesthesia conversion factor.
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.
