What should be reported if a procedure is discontinued after administering anesthesia?

When a procedure is discontinued after administering anesthesia, it is essential to report the resources used and costs incurred due to the anesthesia. This is because the anesthesia provider has already engaged in valuable services, which may include the administration of the anesthetic, monitoring the patient, and potentially other preparatory activities. Reporting these details ensures that the complexity of care provided is recognized, and it allows for appropriate reimbursement for the resources expended, even if the procedure itself did not proceed to completion.

Providing only the use of anesthesia or the cancellation without further details would not capture the full scope of services and resources utilized. Additionally, while reporting the reason for cancellation is important for clinical records and operational insights, it does not account for the specific costs or resources associated with the anesthesia itself.
