:confused:w/EGD, polyp is removed by cold biopsy forcep, 43239 or 43258?
Thank you
 
43239

a 43239 is when samples are obtained for biopsy using bite forceps through the endoscope. the 43258 is when a lesion is destroyed using laser therapy, electrocoagulation, or injection of toxic agents. I normally when coding a cold biopsy us 43239.
