We are a group of gastro coders and was wondering if anyone has any information as to splenic and hepatic flexure polyp removal codes. We know we are lead in our ICD 10 manual to code them as part of the transverse colon under the code D12.3 but does anyone else use a different location code for these two areas. It's a very gray area as to if they are exactly part of ONLY the transverse colon.

I am a new coder(gastro) so if my wording seems off, please forgive me, hopefully you will understand what I am trying to ask. :)Thank you for any feedback. We really appreciate it! :)
