I have always coded an endoscopic GIMR with 29999. I have a new Physician telling me he wants it billed as 27687 because the descipiton does not state the approach. Does anyone have any information on this?

Thank You,

Well is he using the scope to see and then actually going in any cutting the gastrocenumius?? then if so I would bill 27687. He is correct the code doesn't state how you would go in and do a rescession.

Hope that helps!
