Restriction anaesthetic items in conjunction with item 55054
An item in Group T10 (Relative Value Guide) cannot be claimed in association with item 55054 (ultrasound when used in conjunction with procedures). Medicare benefits will continue to be available for the procedures alone and whether individual anaesthetists choose to use ultrasound to assist with those procedures is a matter of clinical judgement for those providers.
