Correction:

Multiple Polyp Removal

Published on Wed May 26, 2004

The June 2004 (Vol. 6, No. 6) General Surgery Coding Alert contained a typographical error.

The example under the heading "Follow Billing-Frequency Rules" reads, "The surgeon uses hot biopsy forceps and the snare technique to remove polyps during a single colonoscopy. In this case, you should report both 45384 and 45383."

The second sentence should say, "In this case, you should report both 45384 and 45385."
