Current through Register Vol. 46, No. 12, March 20, 2024
All fees billed must be in accordance with the provisions of Part 505 of this Subchapter.
(a) Anesthesia.
(1) The conversion
factor for the anesthesia services and procedures listed in this section shall
be $5.
(2) Anesthesia values.
(i) The total values for anesthesia services
include pre- and post-operative visits, the administration of the anesthesia
and the administration of fluids and/or blood incident to the anesthesia or
surgery.
(ii) Calculated values for
anesthesia services shall be used only when the anesthesia is personally
administered by a licensed physician who remains in constant attendance during
the procedure for the sole purpose of rendering such anesthesia
services.
(iii) For anesthesia
procedures, the same item number as the related surgical procedure shall be
used with the suffix "a" added.
(iv) When hypothermia and/or pump oxygenator
are employed in conjunction with an anesthesia, the anesthesia "basic" value
shall be 20 units instead of the "basic" value presently listed and the suffix
"y" shall be substituted for "a".
(v) If the general or regional anesthetic is
administered by the attending surgeon, the value shall be 50 percent of the
calculated value and the suffix "p" shall be substituted for "a".
(vi) In procedures where no value is listed,
the basic portion of the calculated value shall be the same as listed for a
comparable procedure.
(vii)
Necessary drugs and materials provided by the physician anesthetist may be
charged for separately.
(viii)
Where unusual detention with the patient is essential for the safety and
welfare of such patient, the necessary time shall be valued on the same basis
as indicated below for anesthesia time.
(ix) No fee shall be allowed for local
infiltration or digital block anesthesia administered by the operating
surgeon.
(3) Calculation
of total anesthesia values.
Calculation of total anesthesia value shall be determined by adding the listed basic value and time units. The time units shall be computed by allowing one unit for each 15 minutes of anesthesia time. Anesthesia time shall start with the beginning of the administration of the anesthetic agents and shall end when the physician anesthetist is no longer in personal attendance.
(b) Surgery.
(1) The conversion factor for the surgical
services and procedures listed in this section shall be $4.
(2) The values hereinafter listed for
surgical procedures include the surgery and follow-up care for the period
indicated. In cases in which follow-up care beyond the required period is
necessary, reimbursement shall be available for additional payments made by the
social services district to the physician on a fee-for-service basis.
(3) Where an asterisk (*) precedes a
procedure number and its listed value, reimbursement shall be determined on the
basis of the following factors:
(i) the listed
value is for the surgical procedure only;
(ii) reimbursement for all post-operative
care shall be available for payments made to the physician on a fee-for-service
basis;
(iii) when such procedure
requires admission to a hospital, an additional two units shall be added to its
listed value in lieu of any hospital visit fee;
(iv) when such procedure is carired out at
the time of the initial visit, one additional unit shall be added to the value
of the procedure in lieu of any office visit fee.
(4) When the notation "Sv" follows a listed
surgical procedure, the maximum reimbursable allowance therefor shall be the
sum of the values of the various respective services rendered, such as for a
hospital visit, application of cast or splint, detention with the patient, or
office visit, multiplied by the respective appropriate conversion
factor.
(5) In the event of
complications or other circumstances requiring additional and unusual services
concurrent with the procedure or during the established period of follow-up
care, reimbursement shall be available for payment to a physician on a
fee-for-service basis in addition to the reimbursement for the
procedure.
(6)
(i) When multiple or bilateral surgical
procedures are performed at the same operative session, the total value shall
be the value of the major procedure plus 50 percent of the value of the lesser
procedure(s) after the conversion factor ($4) has been applied to all fee
items, unless otherwise specified.
(ii) When an incidental procedure, such as an
incidental appendectomy, lysis of adhesions, excision of a previous scar, or
puncture of an ovary cyst, is performed through the same incision, the value of
such procedure shall be that of the major procedure only, unless otherwise
specified.
(7) When the
skills of two surgeons are required in the management of a specific surgical
procedure, by prior agreement, the total value may be apportioned in relation
to the responsibility and work done, provided the patient is made aware of the
fee distribution according to medical ethics. The value of such procedure may
be increased by 25 percent.
(8)
When an additional surgical procedure is carried out within the established
period of follow-up care for a previous surgery, the follow-up periods for each
shall be deemed to run concurrently.
(9) When the value of a surgical procedure is
to be determined "by report", the social services district shall require the
physician to submit the following information:
(i) postoperative diagnosis;
(ii) size, location and number of lesions on
procedures where appropriate;
(iii)
major surgical procedure and supplementary procedures;
(iv) where possible, a list of similar
procedures, by item number, as set forth in this section;
(v) an estimate of the follow-up
period;
(vi) operative
time;
(vii) such other information
as may be required.
(10)
In the case of a kidney transplant, procedure item 3850, if the recipient of a
kidney transplant is eligible for medical assistance, all costs attributable to
medical services provided to a live donor of a kidney shall be reimbursable.
If, however, the recipient of a kidney transplant is not eligible for medical
assistance, payments for neither the transplant nor the costs incured for the
live donor shall be reimbursable even though the live donor may be eligible for
medical assistance.
(11) Surgical
fees.
The maximum reimbursable allowance for the numbered and described items of surgical procedures listed in this section shall be computed on the basis of the respective listed value multiplied by the conversion factor of $4.
(12) The maximum
reimbursable allowance to an individual physician for a single operation shall
be $800.
(c) Maximum reimbursable anesthesia and surgery fee schedules:
