Hello,

Would you bill both Snare (with injection) 45385 and ablation of lesion (45388) together?

A 10 mm polyp was found in the cecum. The polyp was semi-sessile. The polyp was removed with a saline injection-lift
technique using a hot snare. Resection and retrieval were complete. Fulguration to ablate the lesion by argon plasma was
successful. To prevent bleeding after the polypectomy, one hemostatic clip was successfully placed. There was no
bleeding at the end of the procedure.

Thank you.
