CPT 00145 | Anesthesia For Vitreoretinal Surgery
CPT code 00145 can be reported when an anesthesia provider performs an anesthesia service on a patient during a vitreoretinal surgery procedure on the eye.
Description
The official description of the 00145 CPT code is: “Anesthesia for procedures on the eye; vitreoretinal surgery.”
The American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) assigned six base units to CPT 00145.
CPT code 00145 is for a unilateral service. If the surgeon performs bilateral surgical services, use modifier 50 (bilateral procedure). Using this procedure code on any vitreoretinal procedures requiring the same anesthetic management is appropriate.
Procedure
Before the vitreoretinal surgery, an anesthesia provider performs a pre-operative evaluation of the patient.
The anesthesia provider induces and monitors the patient before the vitreoretinal procedure. Then, another surgeon performs the vitreoretinal surgery.
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 vitreoretinal procedure, the anesthesia provider oversees the patient’s transfer to post-anesthesia care.
