How would you code a surveillence colonoscopy that a patient was found to have hyperplastic polyps found on a previous colonoscopy?
Would this be billed with Z09 & Z86.010 or Z12.11 & Z86.010. I normally wouldn't bill Z12.11 with Z86.010. Some providers treat this with reverting back to screening after so many clears. I didn't think that was a thing with history of colon polyps. I've always thought screening to be asymptomatic and no personal history.
I've found so much contradicting information. Looking for advise from an experienced coder.
