ER doc documented "after sterile prep, several attempts were made but unable to obtain fluid" for spinal tap procedure.
Would I charge for the attempted spinal tap as 62270 w/modifier 52 or would I just include in my E/M level?
Diagnosis was possible meningitis, but final dx was Altered Mental Status, Headache and patient transferred to another facility.
Thanks!!
