Oftentimes we see a colon polypectomy, specifically from cecum, diagnosed with "hyperplastic polyp." Would you consider this as polyp of colon, NOS with K63.5 or benign neoplasm of cecum with D12.0?

Thank you in advance.
 
Agree.

Hyperplastic and unspecified polyp of:
colon K63.5
anus K62.0
rectum K62.1

Excludes adenomatous and inflammatory polyps
