Hello,

I have a provider that bills 45388 with the documentation shown below:

"A single sessile poly of benign appearance was found in the ascending colon. A piece-meal polypectomy was performed using a cold forceps. The polyp was completely removed and retrieved."

Due to the mention of cold forceps I feel that 45380 is a better choice.

Any input is greatly appreciated!

Thank you
 
:) That's what I have been using, just wanting to make sure I wasn't missing something.

Thank you for your reply.
