Colonoscopy revealed impacted stool at 30 cm. The physician used a snare to break up the stool. My provider indicated to bill for a colon with FBR. I'm thinking I can't charge for a FBR. Thoughts?
 
no you cannot bill for a FDR. the disimpaction was performed for the providers convenience to complete the exam. therefore you cannot bill for it. you bill the colonoscopy only.
