We had a new patient come in for an IUD removal and reinsertion. We were about to remove the old IUD without problem, however when it came to reinsertion we couldn't get the IUD past the cervix. We used dilators but still couldn't get it inserted. So we opened a Mirena and was able to insert that without problem. However because the failed insertion of the Liletta was due to body difficulties not device failure we are unable to get a replacement from Liletta. Are we just out the supply and have to eat the cost of that Liletta or is there a way to bill the insurance and get reimbursed from them? Has anyone else come across this and actually gotten it paid by insurance?
Can you use CPT modifier -52 on J7297? I know we use some HCPCS modifiers like LT but I'm unsure if all modifiers can be used interchangeably.
