I understand commercial insurance companies frown upon separating colonoscopy and endoscopy procedures when a patient is scheduled to have both performed. What is Medicare's stance on requesting these procedures be performed on separate dates of service? If our facility creates a policy that clearly states anyone ages 65 and over can not have a colonoscopy and endoscopy scheduled on the same day, would this be subject to discipline from Medicare from a compliance issue?
