I work for GI group, one of the doctors saw a patient in an ASC to perform an EGD. Before the EGD was performed the patient started complaining to the GI doctor about a painful cyst on his back. The GI doc looked and decided he would help the patient out and do an incision and drainage of the cyst after the EGD. So the GI doc wants to now bill for the EGD, an E&M code along with the incision and drainage of an abscess CPT 10060. My question can my doctor a GI bill for an incision and drainage of an abscess?:confused:
