I bill and have begun to code for General Surgery and sometimes our doctors do colonoscopies and sigmoidoscopies. My question is when the doctor preforms a flex sig and only advances to the rectum (doctors choice no complications) should it be billed with a modifier due to the fact that the CPT definition for a sigmoidoscopy is "examination of entire rectum, sigmoid colon, and may include examination of a portion of the decending colon"?
Thanks
