Our Dr performs 43258 - EGD w/ablation. He performs the procedure once and then removes the scope, cleans it and then performs only the esophagoscopy 43228. These 2 codes are not billable together. The notes clearly state the removal of the scope to clean and re-enter to perform the procedure again, but he is only putting the scope to the esophagus so we cannot bill a 76 modifier on the 43258 because he is not repeating the full procedure. How do we bill this?
