Wiki Colonoscopy question

[tsikalh]

How do we bill Medicare when the only diagnosis is V76.51 and there are no findings?

V76.51 is fine for Medicare as only diagnosis if it was a screening colonoscopy...billed with procedure code G0121 (screening without risk factors) or G0105 (screening with risk factors). We bill this everyday.

Thank you. We will give that a try. I appreciate the assistance.
