According to the note, my provider attempted a TFESI @ level L4-L5 but because of the anatomy and previous surgeries it was impossible to proceed, so the procedure was switched to an LESI @ levels L5-S1. My question is can I bill for the TFES (CPT 64483) as discontinued with modifier -53? There is an edit but a modifier is allowed.

Thank you in advance for any input.
 
No, because they changed to a different procedure instead so you would bill the other cpt instead.
It wasn't terminated, it was changed to something else.
