Wiki Pouchoscopy with snare polypectomy

[lindam@caricures.com]

What CPT code would you use for a pouchoscopy with snare polypectomy. Patient has familial polyposis. Dr. snared 3 polyps in the very short rectum. I don't see an option for snare polypectomy with a pouch, only biopsies. any suggestions?

i don't think that would work. That says unlisted for small intestine, but it is the rectum.
