Wiki S/p colonoscopy

[mamacase1]

I NEW TO CODING COULD SOME ONE TELL ME WHAT ICD9 CODE U WOULD USE FOR S/P COLONOSCOPY. THEY DID REMOVE A COLON POLYP:confused

 

[pscott]

I would use colyn polyp and V4589 for post surgical.
Good luck!

There is no "S/P colonoscopy" code and you can't code the colon polyp once it's been removed. There is a code for "Personal history of colonic polyps", V12.72, which implies that they were removed.

Hope that helps.
