The listed unit value for procedures indicated by an asterisk shall apply only to surgery. All other unit values include two weeks' postoperative care. 2. Two or more procedures performed during the course of a single operation through the same lr.cision, or in the same natural body orifice, or in the same operative field shall be considered a one procedure with a value equal to the largest of the values for the respective procedures, uirless otherwise specified in the schedule. 3. In case of multiple surgical procedures, in separate operative fields and separate incisions, 50 per cent of the allowance for the minor procedures will be paid in addition to the amount payable for the major procedure, unless otherwise specified in the schedule. 4. The Association will determine a value consistent with values listed for a cutting procedure not listed in the schedule - such determination in each case, to take into account the nature and com- plexity of the procedure involved and the exceptions, limitations and exclusions of the policy applicable. 5. In any event, the aggregate payment for all procedures shall not exceed the allowance indicated for the procedure of highest unit value for any one period of disability. 6. Successive procedures shall be considered to have been performed. during one period of disability unless: (a) in the case of a protected person, the subsequent operation is performed after return to work on full time or unless the subsequent operation is due to causes entirely unrelated to the causes of the previous operation. (b) in the case of a dependent, the subsequent operation is performed more than three months after the previous operation or unless the subsequent operation is due to causes entirelyun- related to the causes of the previous operation. 1. Anesthesia Service incorporates the customary preoperative and postoperative visits, the administration of the anesthetic and the administration of fluids or blood incident to the anesthesia or surgery. 2. Listed Anesthesia Service Fees are payable only when the anesthesia is personally administered by a physician and surgeon who remains in constant attendance during the procedure for the sole purpose of rendering such anesthesia service. 3. If the anesthesia is administered by the attending surgeon or his assistant, the fee shall be 50 per cent of the listed amount. 4. In procedures where no anesthesia unit is listed, if anesthesia service is required, the fee for service is determined according to time. 5. In procedures where the anesthesia unit is listed as "T, " the fee for service is determined accord- ing to time. 6.
