I work for a GI practice whose physicians also perform procedures at the hospital.
Pt seen in hospital for a Colonoscopy. Pt presents with symptoms - abdominal pain and anemia. Findings from colonoscopy state - diverticulosis.
How should the physician service be coded - should symptoms be sequenced first with findings as secondary or should findings only be submitted with no symptoms added.
Thanks in advance.
