Hi,
MAC anesthesia is provided for both CRC screening - 37 minutes and diagnostic EGD- 17 minutes
99152-1 unit
99153-3 units
How can you bill this with modifier PT/33.
The patient should be waived on the screening component, isn't it?

Thanks for any insight

It is to my understanding that you may not bill a screening if the patient is experiencing GI symptoms. The EGD & colonoscopy would be considered diagnostic.

Hi,

I may need to clarify my question.
Per report- colonoscopy is screening.
EGD- dysphagia.
The patient is ASA 3 and was monitored with MAC during both procedures.
How to report correctly the time on my first note with anesthesia charges so it will match the professional charge for screening and diagnostic.


Thanks,
IZ
