I have a dilemma . Pt has an entire polyp removed by cold bx forceps . I billed the procedure as 45380 . Another coder argues that it should be a 45385 . Colon snare technique . This is based on an AMA article from 2004 that stated if entire polyp is removed the AMA says it can be billed as 45385 .
I would appreciate anyone’s opinion on this .
