A physician was doing a ward round in the hospital and was called to attend to an emergency patient. The physician later realized after treating the patient, that he is not a participating provider with the patient insurance.
My question is : 1. What other modifier can i use to bill this patient insurance that will make them to pay and also shows that it was done in the ER. The procedure is:

Preoperative Dx: pituitary adenoma
Postoperative Dx: pituitary adenoma Procedure: Transsphenoidal approach for excision of pituitary adenoma.

Surgeon and co-surgeon performed this procedure

I code it as this: ICD Code: 227.3 CPT® Code: 62165-62

Kindly assist . Thanks.
