Can someone explain if Mod 53 would be appropriate in this situation?
The patient was ready for surgery. Anesthesia was started however the surgeon determined the patient was at risk(he was concerned about metastatic cancer) and decided to hold off on the surgery. He never even got to make the first cut. Can you bill anything at all? It was to be a Total Hip replacement. He obviously evaluated her to make this decision. I would appreciate any advice.
Thank you.
