CPT 00148 | Anesthesia For Ophthalmoscopy Procedures
CPT code 00148 can be reported when an anesthesia provider performs an anesthesia service during ophthalmoscopy procedures on a patient’s eye.
Description
The official description of the 00148 CPT code is: “Anesthesia for procedures on the eye; ophthalmoscopy.”
The American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) assigned four base units to CPT 00148.
Procedure
An anesthesia provider performs a pre-operative patient evaluation before the ophthalmoscopy procedure.
The anesthesia provider induces the patient and monitors the patient during the ophthalmoscopy. Then, another provider performs the ophthalmoscopy procedure.
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 ophthalmoscopy procedure, the anesthesia provider oversees the patient’s transfer to post-anesthesia care.
