I have a patient who had a colonoscopy via stoma. The doctor elected to excise a malignant polyp surgically (electrocautery).

Would I code it as the 44392? I am not finding anything else that would be appropriate. I have considered the malignant lesion excision codes but that does not seem appropriate either. The procedure was done under MAC.

Any thought would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks,

I would use the code you have chosen, since he used a cautery instrument to remove the polyp.-Brenda
