Viewing Anesthesia Conversion Factor
Users can check the effective date of a conversion factor by state, zip code, effective date, and end date to determine if the anesthesia procedure code on a bill line item is priced correctly according to the Anesthesia Conversion Factor. For example; if an anesthesia code on a bill line item did not return a price, the user can then use this area to determine if the zip code on the bill was valid and effective for the date of service (DOS) on the bill.
