For some reason, I had thought that post op pain services were bundled into the surgical fee unless the surgeon asks for a consult for something like a block or epidural. In any case, I'm doing the PCA's now. I don't mind it. Gets us out onto the floors and makes us visible. And we're in house 24/7 so if any issue comes up we can deal with it. What are others doing in private practice? Managing some PCA's, all, only if asked?

We have a very busy acute pain service. PCA's and PCEA's, probably 50-60 per day at any one time.
