Hello,
I have an Op Report that states the following:

"Two sessile polyps were found in the ascending colon. The polyps were 2 to 3 mm in size. These polyps were removed with a cold snare assisted by cold forceps. Resection and retrieval were complete. Estimated blood loss: none."

Can I only code and bill for the snare technique: 45385 or can I code both approaches 45385, 45380 59?

Any input would be much appreciated! Thank you! :)
