Hello GI fellow colleagues. I have a question for everyone. Our GI doctor is doing an EGD to check placement/leakage for the general surgeon when a Gastric Neurostimulator is placed or replaced. Is anyone currently doing these with a general surgeon? And if so, what is the medical necessity of GI doctor doing an EGD? I don't have any medical necessity for my GI doctor to be doing these EGD's. And wonder if anyone else is doing a different process with these services. Any help or insight would be greatly appreciated. I tried to tell my GI doctor that we can't bill and he wants me to prove it so any reference material would be good.
