    "description": "Anesthesia care for extensive, more invasive intraoral surgery - larger operations inside the mouth and throat than routine biopsy or lesion removal, such as major tumor resection. It sits above the general intraoral anesthesia code specifically because of that added scope, often meaning a longer case and closer attention to a shared airway.",
    "answer": {
        "question": "How much does Medicare pay for CPT 00176?",
        "text": "CPT 00176 is an anesthesia code, so Medicare has no single national rate: payment is (base units + time units) × the locality's anesthesia conversion factor — for example, about $233.73 for a 60-minute case in Dallas, TX under the Q3 2022 release, before sequestration."
