Anesthesia for a Procedure in the Neck

Colorado rates for HCPCS 00322

Covers the anesthesia care given during a procedure on structures in the neck such as the food pipe, thyroid gland, voice box or windpipe. Because the operating field sits right beside the airway, the anesthesia clinician takes particular care securing and protecting breathing, alongside the usual monitoring of heart rhythm, blood pressure and oxygen. The surgeon's work in the neck is a separate service and is billed separately.
