    CPT 01930: Anesthesia for Therapeutic Venous/Lymphatic Interventions

    Commercial payers pay $82 on average nationally for this procedure.

    CPT code 01930 describes anesthesia services provided during therapeutic interventional radiology procedures targeting the venous and lymphatic systems; the service is anesthesia for interventional radiological therapy, typically performed in an interventional radiology suite or vascular procedure room and includes peri-procedural management of anesthesia care for these targeted venous/lymphatic interventions.

    Clinical & Coding Specifications

    Clinical Context

    A 58-year-old patient with symptomatic chronic venous insufficiency and recurrent varicosities is scheduled for an interventional radiology-guided venous embolization and sclerotherapy of incompetent perforators and pelvic venous reflux. The patient has failed conservative therapy, reports worsening pain and swelling, and pre-procedure duplex ultrasound confirms target reflux. The anesthesiology team evaluates the patient preoperatively, documents ASA status and comorbidities, and plans monitored anesthesia care with possible deep sedation or conversion to general anesthesia if airway or procedure complexity demands. In the angiography suite or interventional radiology (IR) suite, vascular access is obtained, contrast venography is performed under fluoroscopic guidance, and the IR team performs embolization/ligation of abnormal pelvic/leg veins and sclerotherapy of superficial varicosities. The anesthesiologist administers appropriate sedation/anesthetic agents, manages hemodynamics, airway, and pain control, and documents intra-procedural time-based anesthesia units and any atypical events (e.g., significant blood loss, need for conversion to general anesthesia). Post-procedure, the patient is recovered in the post-anesthesia care unit (PACU) with monitoring for airway, hemodynamic stability, pain control, and potential embolic complications before discharge or admission per clinical status.
