Use this task to relate an anesthesia code to a CPT code not normally associated with anesthesia. One or more CPT codes can be mapped to one or more ASA codes with this activity. As codes are mapped, they become available in Back Office. When a mapped code is used during charge entry, the associated ASA code is listed with the CPT code so that anesthesia specifics can be entered on the case.
