Wiki EGD Coding Question

[tdbrown]

Needing some clarification, do you need to append modifier 52 to an EGD where the duodenum has been surgically removed and the scope goes through the partial stomach through the anastomosis to the small intestine.
Thank you

It sounds like the provider did what she/he intended, so in looking at the guidance in the CPT book page 344 I would say neither.
