What procedure code do I use to bill Arkansas Medicaid for anesthesia on an Abdominal Hysterectomy?
Code 00840 cannot be used when billing Arkansas Medicaid for anesthesia on an Abdominal Hysterectomy. Since there is no specific CPT code for Abdominal Hysterectomy at this time, code Z9940 should be used. When more than one anesthesia procedure is billed on the same date of service, documentation or a diagnosis code to justify the return to the operating room must be attached.
