What 01932 covers

This service covers anesthesia for therapeutic interventional radiology on intrathoracic veins, including the superior vena cava, and jugular veins. Typical procedures treat central venous narrowing or blockage with image-guided angioplasty, stenting, or thrombectomy. An anesthesia practitioner supports the procedure while an interventional radiologist performs the venous treatment.

Choose 01932 for therapeutic work on these thoracic or jugular veins, rather than the broader venous-intervention category 01930 or the intrahepatic or portal category 01931. The operative report should identify the treated anatomy and therapeutic procedure; the anesthesia record should document the anesthesia practitioner’s attendance and start and end times. Medicare payment uses 6 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 units to one decimal place.

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.

01932 is specific to therapeutic procedures on intrathoracic veins, including the superior vena cava, and jugular veins. Use 01930 for other therapeutic venous interventions not represented by a more specific site code.
01931Portal intervention anesthesiaIntrahepatic or portal system
01931 applies to procedures involving intrahepatic or portal circulation; 01932 applies to therapeutic procedures on intrathoracic or jugular veins.
01924Arterial interventionOther arterial sites
01924 is for therapeutic interventional radiology involving arteries. 01932 is for therapeutic work on the specified central veins.
01916Angiography anesthesiaDiagnostic artery or vein study
01916 is for diagnostic arteriography or venography. Choose 01932 when the anesthesia is for therapeutic interventional treatment of the specified veins.

01932 billing questions

When should 01932 be chosen instead of 01930?

Use 01932 for therapeutic interventional radiology involving intrathoracic veins, including the superior vena cava, or jugular veins. Use 01930 for other therapeutic venous interventions that do not fit a more specific venous-site code.

How does 01932 differ from 01931?

01932 is for therapeutic work on thoracic or jugular veins. 01931 is for interventional radiology involving intrahepatic or portal circulation.

Does 01932 describe the venous treatment or the anesthesia?

It describes the anesthesia service, not the venous treatment. The interventional radiologist reports the procedure under its applicable procedure code.

How are Medicare anesthesia units calculated for 01932?

The code has 6 base units. Medicare adds time units and multiplies the total by the locality’s anesthesia conversion factor; anesthesia minutes convert to 15-minute units to one decimal place.

What records support reporting 01932?

The operative report should show the therapeutic procedure and treated thoracic or jugular vein. The anesthesia record should document the practitioner’s attendance and anesthesia start and end times.

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.
