Pennsylvania rates for HCPCS 00520

Anesthesia care for a procedure inside the chest that is done without opening the chest surgically, such as an examination of the airways with a scope or a look into the space between the lungs. The anesthesia team gives the medication and monitors breathing and circulation, which takes particular care when the airway is shared with the doctor doing the procedure.
