Help!
Do I need a modifer if procedure was attempted and doctor did another procedure instead. The patient's well being wasn't being threatened. The procedure involved the doctor inserting a need for an interventional procedure and encountered bone. (pt's blood pressure, etc were fine)
But the doctor did try a procedure but couldn't do it, so can I still bill out for the attempted procedure?
Thanks,![Eek! :eek: :eek:](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
