Patient was seen 2 weeks ago for a total hip arthroplasty... she was admitted by our physician for a hip dislocation of the same total hip arthroplasty. Can we bill for the admission, and if so what modifier is appropriate?
I am sorry, let me make sure I was clear as to what happened with this patient.
Patient had a total hip arthroplasty 2 weeks ago... Came in to the ER with a dislocation of that same hip... we admitted the patient and took the patient back to the OR for a revision of the total hip arthroplasty...
Can we bill for the admission?
Would you still use the 58 modifier on the revision operation?
