Hello-
Wondering if anyone is having issues with insurance companies denying the 99152-99153 when being performed with a colonoscopy and or upper GI? GI physician is doing the procedure, medications is being administered and the RN- trained observer is recording the vitals when observing the patient. We are recording start time when med in and then stop when the face to face stops with the GI physician.
Can anyone provide some guidance on how they are handling this?
Thanks
Steph
 
only use G0500 with GI coding. In place of 99152, then apply 99153 when time supports it.
G0500 first
99153 xxxx
