One of our physicians attempted an IUD insertion on a patient, however due to a problem with her cervix, the attempt failed. I realize that the insertion code can be appended with a modifier 53, but we also want to bill for the IUD itself as it cannot be used again. The patient will return at a later date for another attempt after inserting cytotec the night before the appt. Can we bill for the "wasted" supply, and if so where can I find the documentation to support billing it?
Thank you for any assistance you can provide.
