I would love some feed back from fellow coders about how others bill for endoscopies. I did not receive any response from the Gastroenterology thread.
How would you code the following:
EGD w/ Biopsy
Colonoscopy w/ hot forcep biopsy and snare polypectomy ?
I have been instructed many ways, the most recent answer states that you would bill both the hot biopsy 45354 with a 59 and the 45385, as well as the 43249 with a 59 showing that each one was a seperate site. However, carriers obviously do not like this.
Any help or recommendations appreciated very much.
Thanks
