Is it an insurance malpractice or a professional malpractice to perform interventional pain procedures while giving nurse directed anesthesia at the same time (versed without another CRNA/AA/MD). The bill to the patient will be for both monitored anesthesia care sedation and for the pain procedure.
What if the patient is willing to pay cash?
I’m asking since I’ve seen this being practice in other locations and wondering if it was taboo because we work with insurance companies who set the rules for billing or is this an actual ASA guideline like you can’t focus on the monitor and move the needle at the same time.
