I am a little confused (or my doc is) on the revised codes for internal/external hemorrhoidectomy, 2 or more groups. In CPT on the description it states that an anal column is considered to be an internal hemorrhoid with 3 major areas in the anal canal, right posterior, right anterior and left lateral positions of the anus. Is each of these areas considered a column or are they all lumped together to form one column??

Thanks in advance for your input.
