Ancillary medical services

1. Supportive professional services other than room, board, and routine hospital services that are incidental to the hospital stay and provided by the facility such as ambulance, anesthesia, blood administration, drugs, laboratory tests, pharmacy, operating room, x-rays, medical, surgical, and central supplies; physical, occupational, and speech therapy; and inhalation therapies.

Ancillary risk

For an insurer, authorised by the FSA to insure a principal risk under one of the general classes of insurance, it means a risk included in another class that is connected with the principal risk. Ancillary risks can be insured (a) when concerned with the object covered against the principal risk, and (b) when included in the same policy covering the principal risk. However, risks arising under credit insurance, suretyship and legal expense insurance cannot be treated as ancillary risks but legal expenses cover permitted as ancillary in travel policies, or when connected with the use of sea-going vessels.

And arrival

In marine insurance practically all return premiums by agreement are and arrival’. This means that an underwriter will not be liable to pay the return unless the ship is safe at expiry of the policy.

Anesthesia formula

Payment formula is performed by taking the base anesthesia procedure units and adding them to the time reported, as well as units for physical status modifiers, qualifying circumstances, and any other allowed units or charges. This sum is multiplied by a conversion factor.

Anesthesia time

Surgical time period during a procedure in which an anesthesiologist and anesthetist, or both, participate. The elapsed time is documented and begins when the anesthesiologist prepares the patient for the operation and ends when the patient is taken to the hospital recovery room. Also called anesthesia minutes of service.
