Aborted ablation
How far did your provider get into the procedure? 58563 is for a hysteroscopy with ablation. Did you provider get a dx hysteroscopy completed before ending the procedure? Do you think the provider could bill a 58555? By any chance did the provider do a biopsy? If so you could bill 58558. I guess the point I make is that you have choices of appending modifier 53 or chosing another cpt code based on how far he got and what he actually got done while he was in there.
