What was the date of service?

D12.2 and K63.5 had an Excludes1 note in ICD-10-CM for 2023. If the DOS was prior to 10/1, you may be getting it kicked back for that Excludes1 note.

I should add that I didn't address the CPT code selection either way, because I don't code/bill for colonoscopies.

The diagnosis codes jumped out at me, because I knew there were modifications made to Excludes notes from FY 2023 to FY 2024.

If the payer is a stickler about coding edits, that could cause an issue if your DOS was prior to 10/1.
