What Our Anesthesia Providers Says About Us
MD
Lio
“We made a huge switch to Credex after partnering with a billing company that failed to separate the difference between anesthesia and general billing. As the switch took effect, time units are no longer misaligned, modifier errors are nowhere to be found, and our first-pass rate significantly jumped in the first billing cycle.”
CRNA
Clara
“Solo CRNA like me regularly faces difficulties in credentialing and payer onboarding. Credex did it with ease. Its specialists handled all applications, monitored progress without involving me in the toss-ups, and made sure I received reimbursements on time.”
Practice Administrator
Frank
“We staff the anesthesia department across three facilities, and coordinating credentialing has been an issue before we partnered with Credex. They made sure we partnered with relevant payers, filled registration gaps, and set up protocols to coordinate this task across sites.”
DO
Pooja
“Coding for pediatric anesthesia is like deliberately finding errors daily. The team that Credex delegated in our practice reviewed our denial history and addressed recurring issues based on the pattern it identified.”

Frequently Asked Questions
What are anesthesia billing services and why are they important?
Anesthesia billing is more complex than regular fee-for-service billing because base units plus time units, multiplied by a conversion factor specific to the receiver, are used to determine payment. If any part of that method renders the claim invalid, it will trigger an underpayment or denial.
Does insurance cover anesthesia billing services?
Yes. Commercial payers have their own conversion factors that are different for each deal. Medicaid payment rates and covered treatments vary by state. Before sending a claim, Credex Healthcare checks that each service is covered and follows each carrier’s rules.
What CPT codes are used in anesthesia billing?
Anesthesia uses procedure codes in the 00100 to 01999 range, each representing a specific anatomical area or type of procedure. The starting units are set by the procedure code. Added time units are based on the amount of time spent under anesthesia. Modifier AA means the anesthesiologist performed the procedure themselves. Physical state factors P1 through P6 add units based on the patient’s level of illness.
How long does anesthesia billing reimbursement take?
It takes Medicare 14 to 30 days to process clean electronic anesthesia claims. Once the paperwork is ready and everything is in order, commercial insurance usually pays within 30 days. Meanwhile, Medicaid timelines vary from 30 to 60 days, based on the state and managed care plan. Because claim quality is the most important factor, Credex Healthcare’s review process catches these mistakes before the claim is submitted. This keeps most claims on the lower end of the reimbursement window.
