Was wondering if anyone has thoughts regarding using 52 or 53 modifier for a discontinued sleep study. The 53 has always indicated failed procedure, yet the 52 seems to be more appropriate if the patient/physician discontinue the study after say 3-4 hours of sleep. Any comments greatly appreciated.
