Anesthesia for a Cesarean After a Labor Epidural

Utah rates for HCPCS 01968

Anesthesia care for a cesarean delivery in a woman who already has an epidural or spinal in place for labor. The anesthesia team turns the labor pain relief into a full surgical block strong enough for the operation, stays with the mother throughout, and manages her blood pressure and comfort. It is charged in addition to the labor pain relief already given, and the obstetrician's work is charged separately.
