Hello. Wanted to get some clarification.
Colonoscopy- physician introduced scope through anus and advanced to the terminal ileum, with ID of the appendiceal orifice and IC Valve. The colonoscopy was performed without difficulty. The quality of the bowel preparation was fair to poor. He did cold biopsies of multiple areas. Anesthesia was given.
This is for an outpatient facility our hospital owns, so we would do 45380 with modifier 52 or 74? I am leaning towards the 74 because of the note that is listed under 52. Our boss decided to get us a different type of CPT code book and it has a note under the 45380 stating to use modifier 52.
If anyone could share your thoughts, I would appreciate it greatly!!!
