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

What 01992 covers

01992 describes anesthesia furnished for a diagnostic or therapeutic nerve block or injection performed with the patient prone. These cases commonly occur in interventional pain settings, including injections near the spine, when an anesthesia professional supports the procedure while the patient remains prone. The anesthesia professional reports the anesthesia service; the clinician performing the block or injection documents that procedure separately.

Choose 01992 rather than 01991 when the patient is prone; 01991 is for these services when the patient is not prone. For percutaneous image-guided spinal injection procedures classified by region, compare 01937 for cervical or thoracic procedures and 01938 for lumbar or sacral procedures. The record should identify the block or injection, its site and indication, the patient’s position, and the anesthesia start and end times. Medicare payment is (5 base units plus time units) multiplied by the locality’s anesthesia conversion factor. Time is reported in minutes and converted to 15-minute units to one decimal place, from anesthesia preparation until the practitioner is no longer in personal attendance and the patient can safely be placed under postoperative care; the conversion factor varies by locality.
