I am wondering if there are different guidelines for different payors. I have a patient that had polyps in 2007, normal colonoscopy in 2010 and normal in 2015. No symptoms. I billed it with a V12.72. Patient is mad because BCBS is applying to deductible and argues it should be a routine screening.
Some sources are saying bill V76.51 first and V12.72 second, but other sources say you cannot bill personal history codes with routine screening codes. HELP??
