I remember something about regional anesthesia codes, but I'm not sure which one applies to an axillary block.

I think we worked through a similar question in class, and if I recall correctly, certain indirect costs can also be included, but I can't remember the specifics.

I'm pretty confident I know the answer here. Option B seems to match the configuration described in the question.

I remember studying about "reject" and "workqueue" as possible phases. It's so confusing!

Hmm, I'm a little unsure about this one. The options all sound similar, but I'm not totally clear on the differences between them. I'll have to think this through carefully before selecting an answer.
