Can both an anoscopy and a flex sig be billed when performed on the same visit?
 
Per NCCI v15.3, VI-C-12: "Only the more extensive endoscopic procedure may be reported for a patient encounter. For example if a sigmoidoscopy is completed and the physician also performs a colonoscopy during the same patient encounter, only the colonoscopy may be reported."

Therefore, in your scenario, only the sig would be reimbursable [under most circumstances].

HTH! :cool:
 
Thank you so much. We have surgeons seeing our oncology patients and I am not familiar with these procedures.
