ASA Crosswalk Library

The ASA Crosswalk library enables you to create a table of cross-references between anesthesia CPT codes and surgical procedure CPT codes. When the crosswalk is activated for one or more locations within the practice, charges for those locations are entered on the Charge Posting window in NextGen® Enterprise PM using one of the following methods:

• An anesthesia code is entered in the Svc Item field, and then the corresponding surgery code is selected from the crosswalk in the Surg Proc field.
• A surgery code is entered in the Surg Proc field, and then the corresponding anesthesia code from the crosswalk automatically defaults into the Svc Item field.

The ASA Crosswalk library can be created manually by entering individual anesthesia/surgery code combinations into the library. Or it can be created automatically by importing a file obtained from the American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) that includes all anesthesia/surgery code combinations.

Whether using Basic Anesthesia Billing or Anesthesia Concurrency Billing in NextGen® Enterprise PM, the ASA Crosswalk functionality is optional and is not required. It can be setup and used during charge posting with either type of billing.

You can generate ASA Crosswalk reports from the ASA Crosswalk library. For more information go to NextGen Healthcare Success Community and download the latest Reports User Guide for NextGen® Enterprise PM.
