CPT 00147 | Anesthesia For Iridectomy Procedures
CPT code 00147 can be reported when an anesthesia provider performs an anesthesia service on a patient during an iridectomy procedure on the eye.
Description
The official description of the 00147 CPT code is: “Anesthesia for procedures on eye; iridectomy.”
The American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) assigned four base units to CPT 00147.
Procedure
The anesthesia provider performs a pre-operative evaluation of the patient before the iridectomy procedure on the eye.
The anesthesia provider induces and monitors the patient during the iridectomy that another surgeon performs.
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 iridectomy procedure, the anesthesia provider oversees the patient’s transfer to post-anesthesia care.
