Discontinue Colonoscopy - failed prep

We have many Medicare patients who come in for a colonoscopy with a failed prep. The physician cannot continue the procedure as the patient is not "cleaned out". I was going to bill this as 45378 - 53. THe patient now needs to have the procedure repeated two weeks after the initial procedure. I just want to make sure I am coding this correctly. I don't want to tangle with Medicare.

Thanks
