This is what I have, not sure if it would be a simple 99201, but what diagnosis would I use? The patient is set up for colo 10 days after this appointment.
S. Referred for a screening colonoscopy. He is due and is being seen in the office because of question of his renal function. He sees a nephrologist and the last visit was in May of this year. In reading the nephrology note his creatinine is 2. He has stable renal function and at that time there was some concern about his blood pressure with diastolic being slightly elevated. However now this has been brought under control.
P. I have advised him I think we can proceed with colonoscopy with sedation with no problems and I have set him up for this.
Can we just use V76.51, even though this isn't the screening itself?
