I have a doc trying to bill for a FAILED LV lead repair. Can this be billed with a modifier? The documentation states:
"Attempts to engage the coronary sinus were unsuccessful despite the use of multiple angiographic catheters and contrast injections in the right atrium." Then it goes on to say, " Furthetr attempts were made in trying to get engaged in the coronary sinus, however, this was unsucessful as well. At that point after multiple attempts, we proceeded with consulting Dr. X who cmae to the prerating room and performed a surgical lead repair." Any insights on this is greatly appreciated.
