Anesthesia question

Please help...

Dr A was on a case and he did a spinal epidural on a patient. Dr A left and Dr B finished the case. But when Dr B came in the spinal was not working anymore. So he had to re-do (reinsert and restart) the spinal for the patient. He wants to know how to bill for that or if he can bill for that at all. Thank you!

There is a modifier for terminated procedures

Don't know what number it is but I read about it in reference to once in a lifetime procedures like hysterectomies when a surgery is stopped prematurely due to a complication and then gets done again on a different day. The RAC audits will see 2 hysterectomies on the same patient if the modifer is not there.

Found it--- -73 or 74 -- these applies to surgeries so I don't know if they completely apply...
