We performed a stimulator trial on a patient on 03/09/11. The patient called 03/10/11 stating she was expierencing a burning sensation and requested that the leads be pulled immediatly. The leads were removed within 24 hrs. Can we still bill for the leads?
 
If the patient had the trial leads for 2 days but found no relief of symptoms this could be viewed as a similar end result as as a patient that immediatley does not react well to this type of device. Both would be a negative trial. And in both situations the time, liability, and the cost spent placing would still be present.
