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.
