    During my case recently, one of the screws I put in accidentally ended in soft tissue. C-arm was used to locate it and it was uneventfully removed. I mentioned this in the op-report and explained to patient as well. Is it ok to bill "unexpected removal of hardware" in this case? if so, what modifier would you use?
