Would like some help.
Doc did screening colon, scope to ascending colon due to ulcerated mass. The mass caused a complete obstruction. The report says scope could not traverse the lesion and exam could not be finished. Biopsies taken in the ascending and a India ink injection applied for tattooing. Physicians recommended pt. return in a year.
Would 45380 74 and 45381 74, 59 be correct?
 
Yes, I would use 45380, 45381 . However , billing for the facility in the modifier usage would differ from the prof. fee. Doctors' billing would be 45380, 45381 (53,59). Z12.11 would be the primary dx, followed by the ulcerated mass and off course additionally, 33 for private Ins., Screening turning diagnostic.
