If impacted cerumen was irrigated in the clinic, but no removal of wax was achieved, could CPT 69209 be billed?

I would charge 69209 with a 53 modifier to indicate the procedure was unsuccessful/discontinued.

I would bill the procedure with no modifier. The procedure was started and completed, the fact that there were no results is not a component of the procedure itself.
