Patient has a 25 year history of Crohn's disease, is clinically asymptomatic maintained by use of long-term medications. The patient came in for a surveillance colonscopy and there was no evidence of Crohn's. Since the patient is still on treatment can this be coded as Crohn's disease even though the entire colon is "grossly normal"?
