Hello everyone ,
I have been using 33340 - 53 - Dx code, for all cancelled Watchman procedure due to anatomical constraints.
I would like to know if anyone codes differently!
Especially with reference to this link:
https://www.watchman.com/content/da...eimbursement/WATCHMAN_Reimbursement_Guide.pdf
Page 20 -
• May use modifier 53 for a Discontinued Procedure
• The modifier is used to report services or procedures when the service/procedure is discontinued after anesthesia is administered to the patient. Submit the length/amount of procedure completed and reason for discontinued services.
• The physician can only code for what was accomplished in the procedure (e.g., groin access; or, transseptal puncture and imaging; or, inspection, insertion and removal)
Am I coding these claims correctly? Appreciate any suggestions.
Thank you.
