Our hospital has recently opened an oupatient clinic staffed by a general surgeon and an ENT surgeon. My question is this: when a patient comes in for a pre-produral visit for a screening colonoscopy, and has no complaints, what ICD-9 code do you use? Does the V70.0 code usually get paid, or is there another code that I'm unaware of?
I've been a hospital coder for years, but haven't coded clinic visits, so I'm just learning.
Thanks,
