Question

A 4-year-old child is brought to the emergency department by his parents due to recurring stomach pain. The child's pediatrician comes to the ED and decides he will perform a diagnostic procedure to identify the cause of the pain. The child is anxious and uncooperative, so the pediatrician decides to use moderate sedation to keep the child calm and still during the procedure. The pediatrician administers the sedation, and a nurse monitors the child's vital signs throughout the procedure. The sedation lasts for 30 minutes. What CPT® coding is reported for the moderate sedation?
