Good Afternoon,
I am billing for a gastrointestinal specialty and on the report the doctor put an EGD w/ a control of bleed.
When you read the procedure report, it is showing that the patient has localized erosions with active (contact) bleeding in the cardia. Since he mentions specifically that this is contact bleeding, would you just bill a regular EGD, because when the provider causes the bleed we cannot bill a control of bleed.
Or
Would you bill this as a control of bleed because the patient has erosions and no mater what there would be contact bleeding?
I think that we shouldn't be able to bill the control of bleed because there was contact bleeding but my boss wanted me to pose the question on here because it was erosions.
Thank you for any help.
