Anesthesia Claims

 Please refer to the payer’s companion guide (or contact the payer directly) for specific requirements on where to enter additional information.

Service Line Description

If the payer needs information sent in the Service Line Description field, you can add this field to the grid as follows:

Important Note: The Start Time and End Time columns available on the service line grid do not print on paper claims and do not export electronically. These fields are for reference only.

Units

Anesthesia claims typically require minutes to be reported in the Units field.  For procedure codes between 00100 and 01999, EZClaim will automatically use ‘MJ’ as the Units qualifier to designate minutes in the ANSI 837 file (Loop 2400, Segment SV1, Field 03).  The ‘Units Measurement’ field can also be added to the grid if you need to use ‘MJ’ for any other codes not within that range.
