Anesthesia For Rib And Chest Wall Surgery

South Carolina rates for HCPCS 00470

Covers the anesthesia for an operation on the ribs and chest wall. Cutting through the chest wall is painful afterwards, so the anesthesia team often places an epidural or a numbing block as well as managing your breathing during the operation. The surgeon's work is charged separately.
