Hello,
The physician tried unsuccessfully to insert an LV lead. He was able to insert the ICD with the RV and RA leads and capped the LV port on the ICD.
Do I bill for the LV lead and use the Mod 52? Seems to me that I would not as he attempted, but was never able to get the lead in. I don't want to not bill for something he should get paid for since he attempted, but don't want this to be considered fraud if I bill with the 52.
Any advice?
