Anesthesiology deals with the total perioperative care of patients before, during, and after
                        surgery, with Revenue Cycle Management being a crucial aspect.
                        The core element of the specialty is the use of anesthesia and anesthetics to safely support the
                        vital functions of a patient through the perioperative period.
                    
                    
                        The role of an anesthesiologist is to administer the right dosage of drugs so that the patient
                        does not feel any pain or regain consciousness during surgery, while also ensuring effective
                        Revenue Cycle Management. They are also
                        responsible for waking the patient post-surgery. They monitor the patient’s vitals keenly during
                        surgery and alter the dosage administered accordingly.
                    
                    
                        Components of Anesthesia Billing, 
                        intertwined with effective Revenue Cycle Management, can become complicated as it requires
                        documentation of a high number of records, such as:
                    
                    
                        The pre-operative review consists of the patient’s and their family’s
                        medical history, drug, or tobacco habits that have to be taken into account while calculating
                        the required dosage of anesthetics.
                    
                    
                        The Anesthesia sheet involves the documentation of the following:
                    
                     
                    
                        - 
                            Base Units:  The complexity and skills involved in delivering the services
                            form the Base Units.
                        
- 
                             Time Units:  This is the time spent with the patient administering the
                            anesthetic or monitoring the patient’s condition before, after, or during the surgery.
                        
- 
                            Modifiers: These modifiers are essential for clarifying whether an
                            anesthesia
                            procedure was personally performed, medically directed, or medically supervised by an
                            anesthesiologist.
                        
- 
                            Formula: (Base Units + Time Units + Modifiers) x Conversion Factor =
                            Anesthesia Reimbursement
                        
- 
                            Post-operative Review. The post-operative review consists of records that state that the
                            patient
                            has not suffered any complications due to the anesthetic administered, emphasizing the
                            importance of effective Revenue Cycle Management.
                        
 
                        The success of an anesthesiology service largely depends on its ability to generate & collect
