Incomplete central venous line placement followed by successful one

Our physician recently attempted placement of central venous line several times before actual successful placement. Does anyone know if we just charge for the successful one or also bill for the incomplete one with a modifier?

Thank you! I thought that was right but sometimes you start doubting yourself dealing with all the stuff we do! Once again - thanks!
