Hello,

I'm pretty new here. I've had a billing business since 2003. I've kept it pretty easy to handle for just myself. I've had a few specialties I've billed for. Recently I am down a rather large percent due to a
physician leaving to retire. I find that I am marketing and using my spare time to update myself, education,
find out better ways of running my business.
I've been told anesthesia billing is not too diffcult. That it is a good specialty if you want to concentrate on
billing for it. So I'm trying to find out all resources. I've been on Medicare guide but that doesn't seem to
quite make it Crystal clear. Any other recommendations? Cheat cheats, books, websites, software?

Much thanks!!

I'm not familiar with any resources on anesthesia billing.  I have done a little myself.  It's not terribly complicated, but it does have parts that you need to understand.  The way to calculate the units, time factor, physical status, complications, etc.  And modifiers are often used so it's important to understand them.

Good luck!
