Medicare is now denying Z12.12 and Z86.010 which are common codes that are used for colonoscopies. Does anyone know what ICD-10 code to use instead of those Z codes if the patient does not have any other diagnosis?

Thank you for your response. It turns out I was using 45378 because my notes indicated that Z86.010 cannot be used for the G codes. So I have this figured out now. Thank you for your help.
