What 01732 covers
01732 covers anesthesia for diagnostic arthroscopy of the elbow joint, when the surgeon uses an arthroscope to inspect the joint rather than perform a separately characterized therapeutic procedure. It is typically furnished by an anesthesiologist or CRNA for an operating-room or ambulatory surgery center case; the orthopedic surgeon performs and documents the joint examination. The setting may include diagnostic evaluation of persistent elbow symptoms when direct visualization is needed.
Select this code for diagnostic elbow arthroscopy, not anesthesia for a closed procedure or an open elbow operation. If the procedure includes definitive treatment, select the anesthesia code that matches the performed procedure. The anesthesia record should establish the service and timed attendance; the operative report should identify elbow joint arthroscopy and whether it was diagnostic or included definitive work. Medicare assigns 3 base units. Payment is (base units + time units) multiplied by the locality’s anesthesia conversion factor; time runs from anesthesia preparation until the practitioner is no longer in personal attendance and the patient can safely be placed under postoperative care, converted from minutes to 15-minute units to one decimal place.

01732 billing questions
How does 01732 differ from 01740?
01732 is for diagnostic arthroscopy of the elbow joint. 01740 covers other open or arthroscopic elbow procedures not described by a more specific anesthesia code.
Does 01732 include the surgeon’s arthroscopy service?
No. 01732 reports the anesthesia service; the surgeon reports the operative service under the applicable procedure code.
How are units calculated for 01732?
The code has 3 base units. Medicare adds time units, calculated from anesthesia minutes in 15-minute units to one decimal place, then applies the locality’s anesthesia conversion factor.
What should the records show?
The operative report should identify arthroscopy of the elbow joint and establish whether the work was diagnostic or included definitive treatment. The anesthesia record should support the anesthesia service and its start and end times.
Does medical direction change which code applies?
No; code selection follows the procedure performed. When an anesthesiologist medically directs a CRNA, Medicare pays each 50% of the allowance for the personally performed service.
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.
