What 01930 covers

01930 covers anesthesia for therapeutic, image-guided procedures that treat veins when no more specific anesthesia code identifies the vascular region. An anesthesiologist or CRNA provides the anesthetic while a radiologist, vascular surgeon, or other proceduralist performs the intervention, commonly in an interventional radiology suite or hospital procedure area. The anesthesia professional reports the anesthesia service separately from the proceduralist’s report of the intervention.

Use this code for venous treatment not assigned to a site-specific anesthesia code; use 01924 for arterial interventions and 01931 or 01932 for their specified vascular regions. Do not use it for diagnostic arteriography or venography alone, which is classified under 01916. The anesthesia record should identify the procedure, treated venous region, anesthesia practitioner, and start and end times; the operative report should show the site and treatment performed. Medicare assigns 5 base units and calculates payment as (base units + time units) × the locality’s anesthesia conversion factor. Anesthesia time is counted in minutes from preparation until the practitioner is no longer personally attending and the patient can safely enter postoperative care, then converted to 15-minute units to one decimal place.

How the 01930 rate is calculated

Each of 01930’s three RVUs is multiplied by a geographic index (GPCI) for the payment locality, added up, and multiplied by the conversion factor. Drag the indexes or enter a ZIP to see what moves the rate.

How to choose

01916Angiography anesthesiaDiagnostic artery or vein study
01916 is for anesthesia for diagnostic arteriography or venography. 01930 is for therapeutic intervention involving veins.
01924Arterial interventionOther arterial sites
01924 applies to therapeutic interventional radiology procedures involving arteries; 01930 applies to venous procedures.
01931Portal intervention anesthesiaIntrahepatic or portal system
01931 identifies therapeutic procedures involving the intrahepatic or portal circulation. 01930 is for venous interventions not assigned to that regional code.
01932Central venous anesthesiaThoracic and jugular veins
01932 is for therapeutic procedures involving intrathoracic or jugular vessels. 01930 covers venous interventions not assigned to that regional code.

01930 billing questions

When should 01930 be chosen over 01931 or 01932?

Use 01930 for therapeutic venous procedures not assigned to a more specific regional code. 01931 identifies procedures involving the intrahepatic or portal circulation, while 01932 identifies intrathoracic or jugular vessels.

What interventions fall under 01930?

It covers anesthesia for therapeutic image-guided interventions involving veins when no more specific anesthesia code applies.

How are anesthesia time units calculated?

Anesthesia minutes are converted to 15-minute units and calculated to one decimal place; for example, 38 minutes equals 2.5 time units.

What should the records establish?

The anesthesia record should identify the practitioner, procedure, treated venous region, and anesthesia start and end times. The operative report should establish the site and treatment performed.

Who reports the venous intervention and the anesthesia?

The proceduralist reports the intervention, and the anesthesia professional reports the anesthesia service. The operative and anesthesia records should support their respective services.

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.
