Wiki cpt for choledochoduodenoscopy

Create Wiki
Do you have an Op report you could post excluding all info that would identify patient, physician and hospital? It sounds like they might be doing a cholecystectomy and a scope of the small intestine (duodenum) but there is something in that word that I can't break out. I could be wrong about my assumption but it is hard to tell exactly w/o the dictation of the procedure. Thanks!
 
This sounds like it might be a form of an ERCP to me. A scope is being done here not a surgery. But more info on the procedure would be needed in order to know for sure what is being done. Looking at choledochoduodenoscopy I can tell that the common bile duct was examined and the doudenum. I'm not sure what cpt you would use though. Maybe 43260 with modifier 52?
