Anesthesia CPT - Base Unit Value

Search:

Description

This phenotype returns the base unit value associated with the primary anesthesia CPT code for the case. This version of the phenotype is built using the 2018 base units by CPT code values (for reference: https://www.cms.gov/Center/Provider-Type/Anesthesiologists-Center). The anesthesia base units remained unchanged for 2019 and 2020. This phenotype will be updated when a new version becomes available.

Limitation

Data quality is limited to individual site documentation accuracy, completeness, and variable mapping, which is performed by each site, independently. MPOG, as the coordinating center, reviews data quality at each data upload and monthly via Data Diagnostics and Case Validation tools. This review, while thorough, may not contain all data elements relevant to this phenotype and thus should be carefully reviewed by the user.
