Wiki Hemoccult

He did have a rectal exam today and had a Hemoccult,
which was negative for screening of neoplasms of the rectum.



Does anyone know what code I should use for billing the Hemoccult or the rectal exam or even if it is billable?

Thanks,

Terri

DRE part of exam

The DRE is part of the exam for your E/M service. Not separately billable.
