CPT 00104 | Anesthesia For Electroconvulsive Therapy
CPT code 00104 can be reported when an anesthesia provider performs an anesthesia service on a patient during electroconvulsive therapy.
Description
The official description of the 00104 CPT code is: “Anesthesia for electroconvulsive therapy.”
The American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) assigned four base units to CPT 00104.
CPT 00104 may be denied when multiple electroconvulsive therapies (ECT) are provided. ECT (CPT code 90871) is a noncovered service by Medicare. Therefore, when anesthesia is performed, for this reason, it will be denied as such.
Procedure
An anesthesia provider performs a pre-operative evaluation of the patient. Then, the anesthesia provider induces the patient and monitors the patient during electroconvulsive therapy that a different provider performs.
The anesthesia provider notes any types and amounts of medications administered, all forms of monitoring used, patient responses, and the start and stops times of anesthesia care.
Following the electroconvulsive therapy procedure, the anesthesia provider oversees the patient’s transfer to post-anesthesia care.
