Ok, my department needs some help. Here is an example: Scenerio #1: We did a colonoscopy because the patient had abdominal pain and we found that the patient had diverticulitis--do we code 780.0X or 562.1X? Scenerio #2: We do a screening colonoscopy and find that the patient has diverticulitis, we do no other procedure, do we dx code the screening then the diverticulitis, or just the diverticulitis?
Any help, references would be great!
