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.

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.
