NovaSure according to the company is a non-hysteroscopy guided endometrial ablation. However, most physicians choose to do a diagnostic scope first and then the NovaSure.
The company recommends that a coder uses the hysteroscopy guided ablation as the code, even though it's not hysteroscopy guided.
I am not very comfortable with this advice and when I asked why they don't recommend a diagnostic scope code and the non-hysteroscopy guided ablation code, no answer was provided. I am asumming one of the codes is edited out.
Any opinions from other coders?
thanks
