I have a patient that had a colonoscopy done on 6/10. The report says that the procedure was aborted, but after he had reached the splenic flexure. This indicates to me that it should be billed as a full colonoscopy. However, the pt then comes back in on 6/11 to have the colonoscopy again and the physician is able to make it to the cecum. Do I code the first one as incomplete? Or do I add a modifier to the second one. ?????? Thank you for any help.
