How to enter time units for surgical assistant codes

Question:

How exactly do I input a claim for time units for surgical assists?

For instance for a claim of R107B how do I input a claim for 3 time units.

Answer:

The total units for surgical assistant billing codes = Basic units + Time units. On the claim page, you only need to enter the time units. Once you click "Add entry", our system will automatically add the basic units to the total.
​
For example, you want to bill R107B, the basic unit is 6 and the time unit is 3. The total units will be 9 (6+3). On the claim page, you will be entering Quantity = 3 and then click add entry. You will see the quantity of the R107B becomes 9 because the basic unit (6) is automatically included.
​

​
In addition, we have a time-saving feature - Time Unit Quantity (Anesthesia/Surgical). Enabling this feature allows our system to calculate the time units for you based on the start and end time entered on the claim page.
