This course is designed to help learners of all backgrounds understand and apply anesthesia medical billing and revenue cycle management (RCM) in real-world healthcare settings. Whether you’re working in medical coding, billing, administration, nursing, or Healthcare IT, this course emphasizes HIPAA, HITECH, Business Associate Agreements (BAA), data protection, data safety, insurance rules, and compliance—alongside the practical mechanics of ASA units, CPT codes, time reporting, modifiers, and payer policies.

You’ll learn how anesthesia claims are built and documented—from pre-op verification and medical direction to time capture, concurrency, and ASA/CPT coding—plus how to interpret terminology commonly used in anesthesia procedures, status modifiers, and perioperative documentation. The course also explains how anesthesia care appears across service lines (inpatient, outpatient, ASC) and how payer rules differ for Medicare, Medicare Advantage, and commercial plans, with relevant anatomy/physiology context where it impacts coding and medical necessity.

Designed to be beginner-friendly, this course offers clear explanations, interactive exercises, and realistic examples from EHRs, anesthesia records, charge tickets, and billing documentation to reinforce learning. No prior medical knowledge is needed.

What You’ll Learn

• Understand the structure and components of anesthesia claims and RCM
