Can someone please define Screening Col. - Est.Pts are calling
wanting to be scheduled for Screening Col as per their ins.Co. are
allowing screening Col per year (Ded.Not Met). Now they already
have an est.dx of diverticulosis but if we do not use the screening
code pt will have to pay deductible. Anyone else having this problem
as it seems to me it would still be a diagnostic Col. TIA for any
help (Also I would think screening would be like an initial Col. such as
baseline Mammo)?
