What 01482 covers

This anesthesia service accompanies an open radical resection involving the lower leg, ankle, or foot. The operative surgeon performs the resection, while an anesthesiologist or CRNA provides and reports the anesthesia, typically in a hospital or ambulatory surgery setting.

Select 01482 when the operative documentation identifies an open radical resection in these regions. Code 01480 describes other open procedures; 01484 is for open bone reshaping procedures, and 01486 is for open total ankle replacement. The operative report should establish the body site, open approach, and radical nature of the resection; the anesthesia record should support the service and its start and end times. This code has 4 base units; Medicare anesthesia payment is (base units plus time units) multiplied by the locality-specific anesthesia conversion factor. Anesthesia time runs from when the practitioner begins preparing the patient for anesthesia until the practitioner is no longer in personal attendance and the patient can safely be placed under postoperative care; minutes convert 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.

01482 billing questions

When should 01482 be used instead of 01480?

Use 01482 for an open radical resection in the lower leg, ankle, or foot. Code 01480 is for other open procedures in those regions when the procedure is not classified as a radical resection.

What documentation supports choosing 01482?

The operative report should establish the body site, open approach, and radical extent of the resection. The anesthesia record should support the anesthesia service and its start and end times.

Are the surgeon’s resection services included in 01482?

No. 01482 reports the anesthesia service; the surgeon reports the operative procedure separately on the surgeon’s claim.

How are time units calculated for 01482?

Anesthesia time begins when the practitioner starts preparing the patient for anesthesia and ends when the practitioner is no longer in personal attendance and the patient can safely be placed under postoperative care. Minutes convert to 15-minute units, computed to one decimal place; for example, 38 minutes converts to 2.5 time units.

How does Medicare calculate payment for 01482?

Medicare calculates anesthesia payment as base units plus time units, multiplied by the anesthesia conversion factor for the payment locality. This code has 4 base units.

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.
