I have a feeling I failed….

I am currently a coder at a local hospital. I’ve been there for almost 3 months. I went through coding training by Career Step. I took my CPC exam on Saturday and I haven’t slept since. I completely panicked and I didn’t do the easy stuff first, I did it all in order so I ran out of time. I had to guess on like 10. I studied for two months straight and when I actually tested I felt like I knew nothing. How many of you felt this way? Did you pass the first time? I can’t talk to my husband or family about this because they kinda don’t understand. This test is everything and if I failed, I will question myself. :(

Failed to locate joint for arthrocentesis

Hi, has anyone came across coding for a failed arthrocentesis. The provider tried multiple attempts to aspirate the ankle joint but could not locate the needle into the joint. Would it be appropriate to assign 20605 with modifier 53 my concern is the needle never went into the joint. Thank you in advance for your assistance.
