Local Anesthesia Code Mappings
This page allows you to create and maintain your local set of code mappings. You can create dated pairings of ASA and CPT codes. Local code mappings are available only within your practice.
Note: You must have the "Practice setup: Anesthesia Code Mappings" user permission to access and use this page. As with all other functionality, this permission may be assigned independently. The permission is included in higher-level athenaOne roles.

Using the mapped CPT codes
Local anesthesia code mappings should be used only when your practice believes that the correct ASA code does not appear as an option in the Time Sheet page ASA menu. You do not need to create your own complete set of values.
When you enter a CPT surgical code in the anesthesia Time Sheet page, athenaOne automatically maps the code to the appropriate ASA code. Local mappings appear with an asterisk (*) to distinguish them from global mappings.
