    "description": "Anesthesia care for open operations on the heart, the sac around it, or the great vessels in the chest, done without putting the patient on the heart-lung bypass machine. That machine-free approach is the defining feature separating this code from its siblings for on-pump cases. Work in this group includes off-pump procedures on the pericardium or chest great vessels and other open cardiac cases where circulation is maintained by the patient's own heart.",

        "question": "How much does Medicare pay for CPT 00560?",
        "text": "CPT 00560 is an anesthesia code, so Medicare has no single national rate: payment is (base units + time units) × the locality's anesthesia conversion factor, so the amount varies by locality and case length (Q2 2015 release)."
