CPT 00162 | Anesthesia For Radical Surgery On Nose & Accessory Sinuses
CPT code 00162 can be reported when an anesthesia provider performs an anesthesia service during radical surgeries on a patient’s nose and accessory sinuses.
Description
The official description of the 00162 CPT code is: “Anesthesia for procedures on nose and accessory sinuses; radical surgery.“
The American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) assigned seven base units to CPT 00162.
Procedure
The anesthesia provider performs a pre-operative evaluation of the patient before a radical surgery on a patient’s nose and accessory sinuses is performed.
The anesthesia provider induces and monitors the patient during the radical surgery on the nose and accessory sinuses. Then, another health provider performs the 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 radical surgery on a patient’s nose and accessory sinuses, the anesthesia provider oversees the patient’s transfer to post-anesthesia care.
