    "description": "Anesthesia care for open operations on the bones of the lower leg, ankle or foot, when no more specific anesthesia code applies. It is the general entry for bony work below the knee, covering things like ankle fracture repair, foot reconstruction, and bunion or midfoot bone surgery. Many of these cases are done under general anesthesia with a regional block of the leg, or under a block alone with sedation.",

        "question": "How much does Medicare pay for CPT 01480?",
        "text": "CPT 01480 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 $197.95 for a 90-minute case in Dallas, TX under the Q2 2017 release, before sequestration."
