Payment shall be fifty percent (50%) of the amount allowed for the procedure under Section XII, A or B, if a procedure is terminated due to the onset of medical complications after the patient has been prepared for surgery and taken to the operating suite, but before anesthesia has been induced.

Such procedures shall be billed using CPT code modifier 72 (Discontinued Out-Patient Procedure After Anesthesia Administration). 10
