A: The method for billing anesthesia services provided at an ambulatory surgery center must be based upon the anesthesia service arrangement between the anesthesia provider and the facility. For instance, the anesthesia service provider can be an employee of the ambulatory surgery center or a separate entity; the method for billing the anesthesia services is different for each arrangement. For more information concerning anesthesia service arrangements and billing anesthesia services, please see Ms. Sable, Esq.'s article entitled "Ambulatory Surgery Centers: What are Your Options for Anesthesia Service Arrangements".
