Incidential findings during screening colon

I have a question regarding incidental diagnosis codes but can't find a policy.

During a screening colonoscopy, if the provider finds hemorrhoids and states that they are incidental due to the prep, we do not have to add the hemorrhoid diagnosis code. Is that correct?


Thanks!
