OptumInsight is pleased to present the 2012 Anesthesia Cross Coder. inappropriate. Assuming all rules of anesthesia coding are followed, Fully comprehensive, the Anesthesia Cross Coder links more than excepted diagnosis codes may prove appropriate to a specific code 300 CPT codes commonly used by anesthesiologists to scenario. corresponding surgical CPT and ICD-9-CM diagnosis codes, and as Anesthesia Cross Coder does not include coding rules or guidelines. appropriate, ICD-9-CM procedure and HCPCS Level II codes. Once again, the user is urged to consult the original coding OptumInsight believes that professional coders working in reference (e.g., CPT, ICD-9-CM, HCPCS Level II, etc.) or one of physician offices, clinical outpatient areas, hospitals, as well as several reputable medical coding instruction manuals. payer settings will find this reference a useful tool. Anesthesia Cross Coder is based on the Anesthesia section of CPT Anesthesia to Procedure Code Physicians’ Current Procedural Terminology (CPT®), but includes Crosswalk CPT codes commonly used by practicing anesthesiologists from The surgical CPT codes are listed with the corresponding anesthesia other sections of the CPT system as well. Up-to-date CPT codes link CPT codes. The relationships were developed by comparing each to the following related medical coding systems: individual surgical CPT code, current practice patterns, and • International Classification of Diseases, 9th Revision, Clinical techniques to determine the appropriate relationship of the surgical Modification (ICD-9-CM) code to the anesthesia CPT code assignment. Using this • Healthcare Common Procedure Coding System (HCPCS) methodology, the surgical codes and anesthesia codes are assigned Level II the most appropriate coding relationships. OptumInsight does not rely on the combinations suggested by other organizations or All coding relationships in Anesthesia Cross Coder start with the groups with the exception of CMS. Reimbursement data was not Anesthesia section of the CPT book presenting a general clinical used to suggest one code combination over another. picture of each anesthesia code. Pertinent surgical related coding relationships were carfully reviewed and screened for appropriate Format information. An understanding of the Anesthesia Cross Coder format allows users In some instances, the data is abridged simply due to the enormity to easily navigate its content. Information within the main section of the listings. For example, diagnosis codes for infections call for ties to the CPT book and the codes are presented in the same additional codes to identify specific organisms. The possible numeric order as the anesthesia and other appropriate CPT associations are too numerous and do not appear in Anesthesia Cross sections. Coder. In a similar vein, Anesthesia Cross Coder features codes that Sections require accompanying etiologies or manifestations (e.g., “Code first Anesthesia Cross Coder provides linked information to the CPT code underlying disease”). However, associated infectious and parasitic range 00100 to 01999, as well as several other code ranges typically diseases are, once again, simply too numerous to list and do not used by anesthesiologists. The codes are divided into the same appear in Anesthesia Cross Coder. For further discussion on sections as found in the CPT book. secondary diagnosis codes, see the ICD-9-CM section later in this introduction. Codes and Code Ranges The data within each CPT code set of Anesthesia Cross Coder is Some CPT codes are omitted from the listing because consistent presented as follows: and reliable cross-links are almost impossible to establish. Unlisted procedure codes are an obvious example. As a coding reference, • Anesthesia CPT code Anesthesia Cross Coder presents most likely scenarios as derived • Corresponding surgical CPT codes and descriptions from clinical information and official sources. Anesthesia Cross Coder • ICD-9-CM diagnostic codes and descriptions is not a substitute for ICD-9-CM or any other medical coding reference and users are urged to regularly consult all available • ICD-9-CM procedural codes and descriptions, where sources. The absence of any specific code does not necessarily applicable indicate that its association to the base procedure code is • HCPCS Level II codes and descriptions, where applicable
