    Wiki 95811

    Normally we would bill a 95811 with a 52 modifier if there was less than 6 hours of recording. However, I have a new occurrence were we had zero sleep time recorded and the test was stopped at 78 minutes. Can we still bill for tech time an reduced services?

    Wiki modifier 52 or 53

    Was wondering if anyone has thoughts regarding using 52 or 53 modifier for a discontinued sleep study. The 53 has always indicated failed procedure, yet the 52 seems to be more appropriate if the patient/physician discontinue the study after say 3-4 hours of sleep. Any comments greatly appreciated.
