Patient was scheduled for a standard cataract surgery and also Istent. The billing note I received from that doctor stated: Attempted but unable to insert Istent due to anatomy.

Should I use a 52 - Reduced procedure or 53 - discontinued procedure - modifier on the Istent? only the standard cataract surgery was completed.

Thanks for your help!!
 
If you are coding for the physician and he attempted to put it in, then code the 0191T.52.RT/LT

If you are coding for the ASC, then enter 0191T.53.RT/LT

Payment modifiers ALWAYS go first.
