Can anyone please tell me the CPT that is appropriate for digital fecal disimpaction or is this a part of the E/M?
Thanks for any help.

It sounds so much more sophisticated when you put it that way...
I believe that it's part of the E/M.

You're right Brandi..you bundle it into the E&M.
Doesn't seem right, somehow. I don't know about you, but I'd want extra RVUs for that one!!

After getting my CPT book, I see that you could use 49515, if anesthesia was used. It's a manipulation procedure, and doesn't appear to require any instruments. Hope that helps!

I think she just had a little typo. 
The code she meant to type is 45915.
