What it covers

E014C adds 5 extra units, on top of the basic units, when an anaesthesiologist gives an anaesthetic to a newborn up to 28 days of age (GP97). It sits in the age-based extra units with E021C (premature newborn under 37 weeks gestational age, 9 units), E009C (29 days to 1 year, 4 units) and E019C (1 to 8 years, 2 units) (GP97).

The anaesthesia fee is the total of basic and time units multiplied by the anaesthesiologist unit fee (GP92). References to an anaesthesiologist mean any physician giving the anaesthetic, outside the Consultations and Visits listings (GP92).
