Wiki Anoscopy with dilation

[hcg]

We have a patient who came in for regular 6 month follow-up on the ileoanal pouch. My Dr. did anoscopy with dilation using his finger.

The only code I can find is CPT 46604 for anoscopy with dilation but this is only by balloon, guidwire & bougie. Is there any other code that I can use for anoscopy with finger dilation? or can code 46604 be used for anoscopy with any method of dilation?

I would appreciate all input.

There is no code for anoscopy with dilation with finger, only code for the anoscopy.

Thank you so much. That's what I thought since I could not find a code for it. So I just used the code 46604
