I have an incomplete EGD(copious semi-solid food content that was refluxing up into patient's upper and mid esophagus. Felt to be an aspiration risk and stopped the procedure.
Photo-documented that patient had approx. 250 cc of dark food content that was removed from her mid esophagus.
I would code this to 43247 with the appropriate modifier correct?
assuming that the food should be considered a foreign body as well
Any comments appreciated!
Thanks!
