Good morning. I am really hoping someone can help me. I am fairly new to GI and I keep going around with the:
Anorectal manometry- 91122
Rectal Sensation w/graded response- 91120
I have spoken with other coders, the office manager (who is an LPN) and googled for information. I look at the reports and I am trying to figure out what exactly I code for. I am not really getting any information to help me understand what I am looking at and coding for.
I have reports for the ARM that include the resting, squeezing, push and rectal sensation thresholds (small section of info). Does this mean this is an ARM (91122) w/a rectal sensation (91120)? Or is the rectal sensation part of the ARM itself because I do know the code description mentions the balloon that is slowly inflated with the sensation.
For some reason, this seems so easy but yet I am so confused!!
Thanks for the help!!!
