Ask a question

When one anaesthesiologist starts a procedure and is replaced by another anaesthesiologist during a surgical procedure or delivery, the service provided by the replacement anaesthesiologist constitutes E005C. This is calculated based on the actual number of time units the replacement is in attendance plus 6 basic units. This code is not applicable for continuous conduction anaesthesia; in those cases, the replacement anaesthesiologist should use the specific continuous conduction anaesthesia fee codes. Each anaesthesiologist involved must document their starting and finishing times in the medical record.

Each anaesthesiologist must indicate, as part of the medical record, his/her starting and finishing times.
