Hello,
Can anyone tell me where I can find documentation/guidelines on the correct coding for 88305 TC please?
Billing for GI office.
Here is the example: pt has screening colonoscopy and polyps are removed.
45385.PT - Z12.11, D12.1, D12.3
88305.TC - D12.1, D12.3
Is it appropriate to bill with screening diagnosis Z12.11 as the primary diagnosis with CPT 88305.TC? If so is modifier PT or 33 required on the claim?
Does the pathology report have to state screening colonoscopy?
We have been debating this issue for the last couple of years and can't find anything to confirm or deny.
Any help is greatly appreciated!
Thanks
Nancy
