Hello,
When the 92920 was performed they passed the wire and dilated it, but when they pulled the wire back the guide wire remained firmly implanted into the artery. There was good flow in the artery. It was unsuccessful angioplasty due to the fractured wire in the artery. I billed 92920 53 RC, and 93458 26,59. 93458 is being denied inclusive. Is 53 the correct modifier to use on 92920?
Thanks,
Kayla
