Medicare covers a screening of a colonoscopy every few years and the anesthesia is covered under that.
Anesthesia codes typically cover the professional services provided by anesthesiologists or nurse anesthetists during surgical or procedural interventions. This includes the administration of anesthesia, monitoring of the patient's vital signs, and the management of any complications that may arise during the procedure. Additionally, these codes may encompass preoperative evaluations and postoperative care related to anesthesia. The specific codes used can vary based on the type of procedure and the level of anesthesia administered.

An anesthesia doctor (titled anesthetist or anesthesiologist) is a specialist doctor that specialises in providing medical care pre-surgery, during surgery and post-surgery. These tasks involve providing correct anesthesia pre-surgery, provision of pain control, life support/monitoring during surgery, airway management and post-operative care.

If you have Medicare Part A (which generally pays for hospital care) and don't have Medicare Part B (which generally pays for doctor visits) you may be able to enroll in Part B without paying a late enrollment penalty.
