The intricate billing practices associated with anesthesiology procedures and practices render them highly susceptible to audits. Medicare audits primarily focus on coding, billing, and time factors, which can trigger intensive government investigations and clampdowns on funds suspected of being used inappropriately.

Anesthesiology is scrutinized by medical auditors, who have cited numerous recurring issues in this area. Like other medical billing procedures, anesthesiology billing is also prone to various billing issues. These can arise due to perspective, neglect, or, in some cases, fraud.

While medical billing is sometimes perceived as a subjective process, allowing medical professionals to charge based on factors such as the procedures performed, equipment used, and time spent with the patient, anesthesiology medical billing is, in fact, an objective process. It is guided by a set of specific guidelines which aim to minimize the margin for error.
