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.

- Define various types of anesthesia services, including local, nitrous oxide, moderate, deep and general anesthesia, and understand what is billable versus bundled within procedures.

- Classify coding and billing for different anesthesia providers such as CRNAs, PAs, and NPs.
