pt has personal history of colonic polyps. The findings are hemorrhoidectomy code 46221. Should I code with 45378 or G0121 as the first cpt code? Pt is medicare

Did you actually do a colonoscopy or a hemorrhoidectomy or both? If you did a colonoscopy and the patients previous polyps were tubular adenomas then you would code G0105. Hope this helps!

What if the pt has a history of polyps, type not stated, and a colonoscopy was done. The indication sasy "Hx of polyp surveillance". This is a medicare patient. Would you still use the G code (G0121)?
