    "description": "Anesthesia care during a catheter-based treatment threaded through the arteries to fix a problem in the brain, the heart, or the aorta. This is the higher-acuity member of the interventional-radiology anesthesia group: sibling codes cover arterial work elsewhere in the body, while this one is for the intracranial, intracardiac, and aortic territory where the stakes and monitoring demands are greatest. Typical cases include removing a clot during a stroke, coiling or stenting a brain aneurysm, and structural heart or aortic repairs done through a catheter.",

        "question": "How much does Medicare pay for CPT 01926?",
        "text": "CPT 01926 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 $264.36 for a 60-minute case in Dallas, TX under the Q1 2016 release, before sequestration."
