CPT code 01714: Tenoplasty anesthesia, upper arm or elbow2026 Medicare rate & RVUs in Washington

CMS doesn’t publish an office rate for 01714 in Washington.

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

What 01714 covers

This service covers anesthesia for tenoplasty in the upper-arm and elbow nerve, muscle, tendon, fascia, or bursa group. An anesthesiologist or CRNA provides and reports the anesthesia service during the operation. The operative documentation should identify the treated structure, site, and tenoplasty performed; the anesthesia record supports the anesthesia service and its timing.

Select 01714 for tenoplasty in this upper-arm or elbow category, rather than tenotomy (01712), tenodesis (01716), or procedures not otherwise specified (01710). This code has 5 base units. Medicare payment is (5 base units + time units) multiplied by the locality’s anesthesia conversion factor. Anesthesia time is reported in minutes and converted to 15-minute units to one decimal place; it begins with preparation for anesthesia and ends when the practitioner is no longer in personal attendance and the patient can safely be placed under postoperative care.
