Wiki Colonoscopy/EGD

[iluvicd9]

I know there is an article in 'The Coding Edge' about the modifier to use when a colonscopy or an EGD is performed during a surgery global period. Modifier -79?? What is the article and what is the modifier? Many thanks....

I am not aware of a recent article, but if you give me the scenario perhaps I can assist.
