We are an ASC and had a patient that coughed, sneezed and moved his head during cataract surgery. So we billed 66984-52 for discontinued services. The patient was brought back the next day to complete the procedure. We have billed 66984-76 & 66984-78. Both have denied as modifier inconsistent with procedure. I'm at a loss.

Does anybody have any suggestions?

Thank you in advance.
 
Why did you bill with the 76 and 78 modifier?

Please reach out to me offline if you should need additional help.

I manage an Ophthalmology practice in Las Vegas and I also code ALL of the cases.
