Could you please help with the coding of a endoscopy that only went thru the oropharynx and esophagus. Do I use a 43239 with a 74 (ambulatory surgery discontinued mod) or a esophagoscopy 43198? or am I totally off on both. Thanks for the input.
 
Discontinued upper scope

It depends on many factors.
1. What was the intending reach of the scope?
2. Was anesthesia started?
3. Why was the procedure aborted?
4. At what exact position was the procedure aborted?

Without a op note, it is difficult to assist you with a proper answer.
