What 00952 covers

This code covers anesthesia for hysteroscopy, in which a gynecologist passes an instrument through the cervix to inspect or treat the inside of the uterus, and for hysterosalpingography, which uses contrast imaging to assess the uterine cavity and fallopian tubes. An anesthesiologist or other qualified anesthesia practitioner reports the anesthesia service in hospital or ambulatory settings; the gynecologist or imaging clinician reports the underlying procedure.

Choose this code for anesthesia associated with hysteroscopy and/or hysterosalpingography, rather than general vaginal procedures, vaginal hysterectomy, cervical cerclage, or culdoscopy. The anesthesia record should identify the procedure and document the anesthesia practitioner’s start and end times. Medicare assigns 4 base units; payment is (base units + time units) × the locality’s anesthesia conversion factor. Time is counted in minutes and converted to 15-minute units to one decimal place, from preparation for anesthesia until the practitioner is no longer personally attending and the patient can safely enter postoperative care; the conversion factor varies by locality.

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.

00952 billing questions

When should I choose 00952 instead of 00940?

Use 00952 for anesthesia for hysteroscopy or hysterosalpingography. Code 00940 is for vaginal procedures that do not fall under a more specific anesthesia code.

Does 00952 cover hysteroscopy and hysterosalpingography performed together?

Yes. The code encompasses anesthesia for hysteroscopy and/or hysterosalpingography; document the procedure or procedures performed.

Is the gynecologic procedure separately reported?

The anesthesia practitioner reports the anesthesia service, while the clinician performing the hysteroscopy or hysterosalpingography reports the underlying procedure.

What should the anesthesia record support?

It should identify the hysteroscopy or hysterosalpingography and show the anesthesia start and end times, along with the anesthesia care provided.

How are Medicare units calculated for 00952?

The code has 4 base units, and Medicare adds time units calculated from anesthesia minutes in 15-minute units to one decimal place. Payment uses 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.
