        "question": "How much does Medicare pay for CPT 00942?",
        "text": "CPT 00942 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 $177.08 for a 60-minute case in Dallas, TX under the Q4 2019 release, before sequestration."
