The CPT code for anesthesia during a cesarean delivery is 01961. This code specifically pertains to the administration of anesthesia for a cesarean delivery, reflecting the services provided during the procedure. It is important to note that this code is used when anesthesia is administered solely for the cesarean delivery without any additional surgical procedures.

No, a biopsy code typically does not include the administration of local anesthesia. The biopsy code generally covers only the procedure itself and not the ancillary services such as anesthesia. However, separate codes for local anesthesia administration may be billed in conjunction with the biopsy if applicable, following the relevant coding guidelines. Always refer to specific coding manuals or guidelines for precise billing practices.

"Nurses" do not give Anesthesia. However "Nurse Anesthetists" do. Nurse Anesthetists are Registered Nurses with a BSN degree who have atleast 1 year of critical care experience in an ICU and return to school to complete a Master's Program in Anesthesia.
When I was in my early teens I chose to drill three teeth (it was the only time I've ever had any cavities, and I had three at the same time) without anesthesia because of an intense fear of needles (I usually fainted when getting vaccines). It did hurt quite a bit for all three teeth, but I was able to keep my mouth open for the whole procedure. Another advantage is that I didn't sound weird while talking after the procedure, which seems to be common if anesthesia is used.
