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

What 00942 covers

This code covers anesthesia for vaginal operations involving an incision into the vagina, removal of vaginal tissue, repair of the vaginal wall, or an open urethral approach. Gynecologists perform vaginal repairs and excisions, while urologists may perform covered open urethral procedures; an anesthesia practitioner reports the anesthesia service.

Use a more specific neighboring anesthesia code for vaginal hysterectomy, cervical cerclage, culdoscopy, or hysteroscopy and hysterosalpingography; 00940 is for vaginal procedures not otherwise classified. The operative report should establish the procedure and approach, and the anesthesia record should support the anesthesia service and its start and end times. This code has 4 base units. Medicare payment is (base units + time units) × the 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 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.
