Hi, I am hoping someone can answer this question. The patient was prepped and ready for colonscopy. When anesthesiologist put IV in, very quickly pt got agitated and wanted it stopped, so no actual procedure was done, only the beginnings of the anesthesia. Would I bill this as an office visit? or bill procedure and anesthesia with one of the modifiers? maybe 53? discontined? even though it really was the anesthesia that was discontinued? Please help.
Thanks.
Thanks.
