CPT 00140 | Anesthesia For Procedures On The Eye (Not Otherwise Specified)
CPT code 00140 can be reported when an anesthesia provider performs an anesthesia service on a patient during a procedure on the eye that is not otherwise specified.
Description
The official description of the 00140 CPT code is: “Anesthesia for procedures on the eye; not otherwise specified.”
The American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) assigned five base units to CPT 00140.
Procedure
An anesthesia provider performs a pre–operative evaluation of the patient. The provider induces the patient and monitors the patient during a procedure on the eye that is performed by a different provider.
The anesthesia provider notes any types and amounts of medications administered, all forms of monitoring used, patient responses, and the start and stop times of anesthesia care.
Following the procedure on the eye, the anesthesia provider oversees the patient’s transfer to post–anesthesia care.
