Check a contract rate as a % of Medicare · 01832 nationwide

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

What 01832 covers

01832 identifies anesthesia for total wrist replacement, an operation that replaces the wrist joint. The anesthesia service is reported by the practitioner furnishing anesthesia, such as an anesthesiologist or CRNA. This code is distinct from anesthesia for diagnostic wrist arthroscopy, other arthroscopic or endoscopic wrist and hand procedures, and closed procedures on wrist or hand bones.

The operative report should establish that the operation is a total wrist replacement; the anesthesia record should identify the service and document anesthesia start and end times. Do not select 01832 solely because an operation involves the wrist: diagnostic wrist arthroscopy is represented by 01829, other arthroscopic or endoscopic wrist or hand procedures by 01830, and closed bone procedures by 01820. This code has 6 base units. Medicare payment is (base units + time units) × the locality’s anesthesia conversion factor. 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 to one decimal place.
