Description
Estimated cost for Pre-anesthesia Evaluation Fee at general public hospitals in China is about ¥15-40, and at Grade 3A hospitals about ¥20-50, varying by hospital tier and region.
Main Uses
To formally document and bill for the mandatory clinical evaluation conducted by an anesthesiologist or certified anesthesia provider prior to surgery; ensures patient safety by identifying risk factors, optimizing comorbidities, selecting appropriate anesthetic technique, obtaining informed consent, and planning perioperative management; required for all elective and most urgent surgical procedures across accredited hospitals and ambulatory surgery centers.
Normal Range
Not applicable — 'Pre-anesthesia Visit and Assessment Fee' is a standardized healthcare service charge, not a laboratory or physiological measurement; therefore, it has no biological normal range or numerical reference values.
Low Values - Possible Causes
Billing errors (e.g., incorrect coding or undercharging), application of institutional or government-subsidized fee waivers, use of simplified or abbreviated assessment protocols in low-risk cases (where reduced fee schedules apply), regional policy adjustments for primary care or outpatient settings, or insurance-specific negotiated rate reductions.
High Values - Possible Causes
Comprehensive assessment requiring multidisciplinary input (e.g., cardiology/pulmonology consultation), extended evaluation due to high-risk comorbidities (e.g., severe COPD, NYHA Class IV heart failure), inclusion of advanced diagnostics (e.g., pre-op echocardiography or ABG interpretation), prolonged visit duration (>30 minutes), or facility-based surcharges for tertiary/quaternary care centers or after-hours/emergency assessments.
