Good morning!!!
I do have question about using D9222 & D9223. We are Surgical facility. The physian come to our facility doing the surgery, we have anesthesiologist too, so the physician/surgeon is not the one who administered the anesthesia. So as a facility, can we use the D9222 for first 15 minutes and the D9223 after 15 mins increments? Also, when we submit a claim for physican component, can we use any sedattion codes?
Please advise, need help. I really appreciate your help. much appreciated

Hi Guest!
Great question. The coding will actually depend on the medical insurance company!
Some medical insurers will accept the "D" codes, however some will require you to use a CPT code instead.
D9222 – deep sedation/general anesthesia – first 15 minutes and D9223 – deep sedation/general anesthesia – each additional 15 minutes
can be crosscoded to: 00170 - Anesthesia for intraoral procedures, including biopsy; not otherwise specified
And sorry, could you clarify your question "when we submit a claim for physican component, can we use any sedattion codes?"
