When creating or updating a fee schedule, the information displays in four tabs:

The Anesthesia Procedures tab specifies the anesthesia procedures calculated by the fee schedule. Use the tab to add anesthesia procedures manually or import them from the master set of procedures.

If the fee schedule will be used to calculate anesthesia services, you must specify at least one anesthesia procedure. For an expected fee schedule, add only the anesthesia procedures for specific procedures, for example, labor and delivery. If you add anesthesia procedures, you must complete the options on the Anesthesia Billing Information tab.
