How Anesthesia Billing Works

Anesthesia billing is simply a function of the total time of patient care by the anesthesiologist.  The time is broken into 15-minutes, commonly referred to as “units” in anesthesia billing.  As an average, the total time billed by the anesthesiologist is the full duration of the surgical/dental procedure plus 30 minutes. This includes15-minutes to get a patient safely settled under anesthesia, then the surgical/dental procedure, then 15-minutes to get the patient safely awakened from anesthesia.

We do not bill medical or dental insurance. However, we are happy to help with any forms you may need to submit for reimbursement to your insurance company after your invoice has been paid in full.

There is a one-hour minimum for anesthesia care and a deposit is due at least one week prior to the procedure. Deposits are not refunded in the event of a no show or if the dental or medical office must cancel the case due to a late arrival by the patient. Your procedure may be rescheduled if we do not receive the deposit at least one week prior to your appointment date.
