New to coding EGD's... physician removed a total of 5 samples by hot biopsy forceps. Do I code 5 units? or only 1? Description in CPT: "EGD with removal of tumor(s), polyp(s), or other lesion(s) by hot biopsy forceps"
2 samples were from the duodenal bulb, 2 were from the antrum and 1 was from the distal esophagus.
I'm thinking only 1 should be billed, based on the CPT description, but just double-checking. Thank you!
