Wiki Excision of rectal polyp, transanal

[tldixon@mokancomm.net]

How would you code a transanal excision of rectal polyp?

Was it done as part of a colonoscopy? If so, what method was used to remove the polyp (hot forceps, snare)? Look at 45384 - 45385. If no scope was used, consider looking at 45171 possibly.

Thank you...I have used 45171. It was not part of colonoscopy.
