EGD with multiple biopsies
Hi,
My question is I do know that this code says "multiple". But what if the biopsy was from a different sites.
The physician took a biopsy from the antrum portion of the stomach, as well as a biopsy from the GE junction near the esophagus.
So this is multiple biopsies, but it is not MULTIPLE BIOPSIES FROM THE SAME SITE.
Can I bill 43239 2 times with XS or a 59 modifier?
Please advise.
But I also did a lot of research and was unable to find anything in writing. Can you point me to someplace that has this information in writing.
Thanks,
