Doctor performed a "colonoscopy" on patient status-post ileal-pouch anal anastamosis. Only the anal canal, ileal pouch, and a small portion of the ileum were viewed. No biopsies were taken.
The doctor wants to code a flex-sig, but I don't think that this applies since there is no sigmoid colon, or any other for that matter. Would a 44385, endoscopic evaluation of small intestinal pouch; work with this procedure?
Any thoughts?
