Lead Attempted and Not Used

Date: Jul 16, 2013

Question:

The physician tried an Easytrak 2 lead (LV lead) and was unable to get satisfactory thresholds, so he exchanged with an Easytrak 3 lead. We obviously only ended up with one lead in the patient, but we used two and we were charged for both. Is there a modifier for this? What is the appropriate charge situation for the supplies used?
