2026 Anesthesia Coding Updates: What OMSs Need to Know

Both OMSs and coding professionals can benefit from a comprehensive understanding of 2026 coding changes that affect their everyday practices. This 90-minute webinar will present attendees with detailed coding guidance by reviewing relevant coding scenarios based on specific inquiries received by AAOMS. Participants will be guided through the different types of anesthesia, learn about CDT and CPT start and stop times, and explore common questions and answers on reporting services for separate anesthesia providers. The webinar also will address the differences between moderate sedation and general anesthesia, review current payer policies with examples of payer requirements, and provide tips to help navigate and understand credentialing.

Learning Objectives

At the conclusion of this program, participants should be able to:

Define various types of anesthesia services, including local, nitrous oxide, moderate, deep and general anesthesia, and understand what is billable versus bundled within procedures.
Analyze how federal and state laws impact payer policies and the scope of practice for anesthesia providers.
Classify coding and billing for different anesthesia providers such as CRNAs, PAs and NPs.
Understand the 2026 coding changes.
Examine various real-world anesthesia coding scenarios to better understand the complexities and nuances of anesthesia billing.
