What 01730 covers

01730 applies to anesthesia for closed orthopedic procedures involving the humerus or elbow, such as closed treatment of a fracture or dislocation. Anesthesia practitioners provide and report the anesthesia service for these procedures. The operative documentation should identify the treated bone or joint and establish that the procedure was closed, rather than open or arthroscopic.

Choose 01730 for the closed procedure, not for upper-arm or elbow nerve surgery, diagnostic elbow arthroscopy, or an open or arthroscopic elbow operation. The operative report should establish the procedure and approach, while the anesthesia record should support the service and its start and end times. Medicare assigns 3 base units; payment is (base units plus time units) multiplied by the locality’s anesthesia conversion factor. Anesthesia time runs from when the practitioner begins preparing the patient until the practitioner is no longer in personal attendance and the patient can safely be placed under postoperative care; minutes convert to 15-minute time units computed to one decimal place, and 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.

01730 billing questions

When should 01730 be chosen instead of 01740?

Use 01730 for a closed procedure involving the humerus or elbow. Code 01740 describes anesthesia for open or arthroscopic elbow procedures.

Does closed fracture treatment involving the humerus or elbow fit 01730?

Yes, when the procedure is closed. The operative report should establish the treated site and closed approach.

What documentation supports reporting 01730?

The operative report should identify the humerus or elbow procedure and show that it was performed closed. The anesthesia record should support the anesthesia service and its start and end times.

How are Medicare anesthesia units and payment calculated?

This code has 3 base units. Medicare adds time units, computed 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.
