Wiki 20610 with modifier 53, in office

[houmaob1714]

Doctor "ATTEMPTED ASPIRATION RIGHT SHOULDER -- NO FLUID OBTAINED -- INJECTED WITH dEPO / LIDOCAINE". Would it be correct billing 20610 with modifier 53?

This was done in the office.

Thanks

If the provider injected the meds into the joint you would report 20610 without
modifier 53: 20610 = "Arthrocentesis, aspiration and/or injection,major joint or bursa"
