Hello,
My doc performed hysteroscopy for iud removal but the iud was deeply embedded and he was able to remove only a portion of it. There was one portion left behind which was deeply embedded.
The procedure was 45 mins long. Would this be billed as 58562-52 or just 58562(with no modifier since a portion was removed)
Many thanks in advance for any input on this
Janet
 
To me, -52 is not warranted in this scenario. My understanding of -52 is for when the clinician eliminates a portion of a procedure with multiple components, or performs less work than described. I would bill 58562 without modifier.
