The hyperlink opened as a pdf for me and didn’t directly/clearly reference Moda as the resource.
I’m sorry if you misunderstood my comment, I was trying to kindly point out that it appears you had posted guidance from a specific payor policy (Moda), NOT official pathology coding guidelines.
I thought that this space (AAPC Community Forum) was a place where we would help one another through clear, honest and respectful communication? I do appreciate your “guru” status and your contributions to our community. I am frankly a bit flummoxed at the tone of your response.
As pointed out previously, the topic of guidance for diagnostic/pathology colonoscopies sometimes varies between individual payor policies. My understanding from your post is that Moda is simply one payor, and that they do cover diagnostic colonoscopies as a preventative (no cost) service.
Respectfully,
Laurie
