Does anyone know of any documentation on what codes to use for common bile duct brush biopsies. I've received conflicting information..some saying not to use 4755x codes if not endoscopic and others saying 4755x codes are for endoscopic OR interventional. So here is what was done and what I coded:
Diagnostic injection through existing biliary tube: 47505 & 74305
Brush biopsy of distal common bile duct w/balloon angioplasty of distal common bile duct: 47555
Removal of internal/external drain and placement of new external drain:
47510-59 & 75980-59
Does this look right? Any advice will be appreciated.
Thanks,
