# CPT 01214

> CPT 01214 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 $351.91 for a 120-minute case in Dallas, TX under the Q2 2017 release, before sequestration.

## What it is

Anesthesia care for open surgery on the hip joint, including total hip replacement. These cases are commonly done under spinal anesthesia with sedation, or under general anesthesia, often paired with a regional nerve block for post-operative pain. The anesthesia team also manages positioning on the side, blood loss during reaming and implant placement, and the blood-pressure swings that can accompany cement fixation.
