Hi everyone,
I coded a screening colonoscopy to be diagnostic due to a finding of an anal fissure. I thought if anything is find during a colonoscopy screening to code the diagnostic code 45378 (if no polyp removed) with modifier 33/PT. Patient is calling stating this was a screening... Just wanted to make sure I was correct before informing the patient of this.
Thanks!
