When performing nuclear stress test on patients over a specific size, we split the test into two sessions. Patient no-showed 2nd half. Can we bill for the first half with modifer 53? Thanks!

That appears to be the best option based on what you are describing. I found the following information that might be helpful: http://www.wpsmedicare.com/j5macpartb/resources/modifiers/modifier-53.shtml
