What is the appropriate coding for an attempted Vaginal Hysterectomy(not laparoscopic) converted to a Total Abdominal Hysterectomy?
 
If your provider spent a good amount of time trying to do the vag hyst before he changed to the TAH I would add mod 22 and send claim with op notes. If your provider documented the amount of time he spent attempting the vag hyst they should pay a little extra on the TAH.
