Anesthesia questions

Understand the customer-facing questions around anesthesia, separate billing, preparation, and recovery without trying to make clinical anesthesia decisions.

What to know beforehand

  • Whether anesthesia or sedation is expected
  • Whether an anesthesia group bills separately
  • Network status when it can be verified
  • Food/drink and medication instructions from the clinical team
  • Transportation requirements
  • Where pre-procedure health questions should be directed

Cost questions

  • Is anesthesia included in the facility estimate?
  • Will the anesthesia professional submit a separate claim?
  • Can the anesthesia group be identified before the procedure?
  • How are unexpected changes handled in the estimate?

After anesthesia

Follow the discharge instructions from the care team regarding driving, supervision, food, medications, and when to seek help.
