Hey All -
I see that CMS has posted guidance stating that a KX modifier should be appended to the screening colonoscopy code to indicate such service was performed as a followup to a positive stool based test.
It doesn't specifically state it should be applied to the anesthesia code as well, but are others applying the KX to the anesthesia claim?
I don't see any guidance for diagnosis coding here either - Are you billing a Z12.11, Z86.010, etc before the R19.5 or just the R19.5 in this scenario?
Thanks!
