Will someone please explain when 30903 would be billed with 31231 as opposed to billing 31238?

Thank you, Mary
 
Contralateral side?

NOT my area of expertise ... but

The only scenario I can imagine would be if the DIAGNOSTIC endoscopy was performed on the contralateral side only. For example, you controlled the hemorrhage on the RT side; and performed a diagnostic endoscopy on the LT side.

CPT 31231 is considered a separate procedure so it will bundle unless you can clearly demonstrate that it is separate and not done in conjunction with any surgical procedure.

Hope that helps.
