Please help...
Dr A was on a case and he did a spinal epidural on a patient. Dr A left and Dr B finished the case. But when Dr B came in the spinal was not working anymore. So Dr B had to re-do (reinsert and restart) the spinal for the patient. Dr B wants to know how to bill for that or if he can bill for that at all. Thank you!
