Question vaginal polyp removal

[rleif1sun]

pt was found to have vaginal polyp. provider tied string around stalk of polyp to d/c blood flow and then cut with surgical scissors and sent for biopsy.
can I bill CPT 57100 or is that only for partial removal?

This does sound more like excision of a vaginal polyp vs a vaginal biopsy.
Unfortunately, there is not a code specifically for vaginal polypectomy. When I have a situation like that, if the procedure was very quick and minor, I would consider it bundled with the office visit. If it is more extensive, I would bill with an unlisted. A comparison for the unlisted might be 57100 or excision benign lesion genitalia 11420-11426.
