One of my docs is wanting to code 45380 and 45383 for the same polyp. He clearly documents polyp removed by biopsy forceps and states "the margins were then fulgurated with Gold probe...". I'm usually confident in my colon coding, but is it possible to code 45383, 45380-51? The 1/04 CPT Assistant article leads me to believe I can, but it is not clearly stated. Any thoughts?
Thanks!
