sigmoidoscopy with speed banding

Can anyone assist with this? The patient presents with history of rectal bleeding and problematic internal hemorrhoids. The doctor performs a sigmoidoscopy with speed banding of 3 hemorrhoids

I was going to use ICD-9 procedure codes of 48.23 & 49.94 and CPT procedure codes of 45330 BUT not sure of the banding procedure code, I find one for ligation but cannot locate one for banding. Is the banding procedure bundled into another procedure?

Thank you for any assistance!
