Hi There Susan De Souza!😊
You can bill these together but they should be polyps removed from differ areas of the colon. I hope your provider documents this factor . See the diagnostic code of block D12 which list differ areas of colon(ascending, cecum, descending, rectum). I'd plop that dx. first on the claim, first then follow up with Z12.11 since the patient had polyps. If the patient had any other gastro illness as example dx K59, K57 or K51)put on first then Z dx code according to documentation. Or you can always put on dx K63.5 polyps in colon but we know more details is better in line with documentation given. If the patient is a smoker I'd add last dx of Z72 or F17 if mentioned cause it messes up hearts, bowels, and lungs. Alos some payers like XS modifier instead of 59 now.
Have a good day. I hope I was helpful.
