We have answers. CPT 2018 has unbundled moderate sedation from all Pulmonary procedures and has created a new series of moderate sedation codes which you are to use for your procedures when you provide/supervise this service. 1. You will need to develop a mechanism reporting this service for billing purposes 2. Detailed documentation, that you provided this service, will need to become part of your procedure documentation 3. Payment for your procedures in 2018 will be reduced to reflect unbundling of the moderate sedation. The only way to maintain your current payment for your procedures is to provide this service yourself 4. Medicare s final fee schedule for 2018 will reflect this reduction Please join us, Terry L. McVey, President
