I need help on this colonoscopy. This lady has had a colon resection d/t invasive adenocarcinoma, leaving her with essentially just the rectum and the distal 5-10 cm of her sigmoid colon. The scope was advanced roughly 25 cm to what appeared to the the anastomosis. There were two small polyps, one 2-3mm in size and 1mm in size. Polypectomies were performed with cold biopsy forceps. The scope was readily advanced another 25-30 cm into the small bowel, no evidence of any other lesions. The scope was withdrawn.
So, not sure what to code....any suggestions would be helpful.
Thanks,
Becky
