can anyone direct me to any articles etc. on billing for bone marrow aspiration and core biopsies, when a dry tap was the result of the marrow aspiration? I would like to find some supporting documentation/guidance on how to bill when an aspiration attempt is made and the result is a dry tap but so far I haven't been able to find anything..
 
Would you really need a modifier 52 (reduced services)? Just because the needle came up dry doesn't mean the procedure wasn't performed.
