Hi,
In the ASC arena, a patient came in for a nerve root injection. The MD discussed with the patient the possibility of taking the patient back to the OR to perform an injection at a different level if the first one was not successful. The injection was performed and the patent taken to the recovery room. After a discussion the the patient in the recovery room, the MD took the patient back to the OR to perform another injection at a different level. Which modifier is appropriate and why?
Thanks!!
