At MAVA Care, the preoperative assessment includes reviewing the patient's medical history, conducting a physical examination, and assessing anesthesia-related risks. The anesthesia provider discusses the plan, addresses patient concerns, and obtains informed consent before surgery.
In anesthesia, billing base units reflect the intricacy of the procedure and are assigned by the American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA). These units consider the expertise and exertion needed to deliver anesthesia. When combined with units based on duration they determine the overall billing amount.
In anesthesia billing, the time units are calculated based on how long the anesthesia service is provided. Usually, a one-time unit corresponds to 15 minutes of anesthesia care. The total number of time units is combined with the base units to establish the total cost of anesthesia services.
At MAVA Care we use anesthesia billing modifiers to modify claims based on specific factors. These factors include the patient's health condition (like ASA status) the urgency of the procedure or special circumstances such as age or preexisting health issues.
Anesthesia services are charged based on distinct CPT (Current Procedural Terminology) codes that match the nature of the surgery or procedure conducted. These codes aid in classifying the anesthesia service rendered, facilitating precise billing and appropriate reimbursement from insurance providers.
We carefully record when anesthesia begins and ends to monitor the duration of anesthesia care. The start time marks when the anesthesia provider begins preparing the patient for anesthesia while the stop time is noted when the administration of anesthesia is complete. These timestamps are important for calculating billing time units.
We submit the anesthesia claim to the insurance provider. This claim includes details such as units, time units, and applicable modifiers to ensure accurate billing and timely reimbursement for the anesthesia services provided.
Once a claim is submitted, we ensure that the insurance company reviews it for accuracy, confirming all required information, such as units and modifiers, is included. After approval, the insurer determines the covered amount and processes payment.
Unlike other medical and healthcare medical billing, anesthesia is billed in units (base and time). Any errors in these units’ computations directly impact the reimbursement rate and revenue.

To ensure accurate coding, we thoroughly reviewed medical records and anesthetic logs. Our coders verify all relevant information, such as the type of anesthesia used, time spent, and any extra operations conducted. Proper coding is critical for appropriate invoicing, regulatory compliance, and ensuring that healthcare practitioners are fairly compensated.
Anesthesia is an essential component of any surgical process. It focuses on patient care before, during, and after surgery. The procedure for anesthesia varies from the normal billing as it includes per-hour service charges rather than the cost of each service paid. It also requires prompt payment and maximum reimbursement for accurate documentation.
Our medical coder applies the codes that are according to the anesthetic operations and complexity of the service. It also involves the surgical process and medical condition of the patient including the CPT and ICD as standardized coding.
We simplify your operations to enhance compliance and increase revenue. Our strategy includes assessing your current procedures and optimizing the algorithms for your expected charge captures.

Although it may seem simple, handling the anesthesia revenue cycle involves skill in ensuring that your facility is reimbursed accurately for its billing anesthesia services. The process begins with credentialing before filing claims with insurance companies.
Once we receive the claims, patient information, and insurance details for services rendered by a credentialed provider, our team meticulously inputs the data and assigns codes to the allegations. This thorough procedure is managed through our digital workflow system and our exclusive software known as “Accuracy.”
After that, we send the claim to the insurance carrier. We post the deposits to the patient’s account if they are e-deposit or check payments. The revenue cycle for one specific claim will thus be considered closed when the balance on the patient account has been zeroed out. Moreover, we use revenue cycle management software and expert processing techniques to control cash inflows by tracking benchmarks like expected collections, collection ratio, days-in-accounts-receivable, and aged receivables analysis.
