check with the payer as many payers do want the G code for screening colonoscopies. and yest you use the screening V code first and the code for the finding second.

I agree. Diverticulosis can be an incidental finding, and doesn't change the fact it was a preventative service to begin with.

I have the same problem. so would you bill the diagnostic code or would you bill the G code?

We are having the same discussion in our office. Patient with Medicare presents for screening colonoscopy with findings of diverticulosis. I would code as 45378 with mod PT and another coder suggests G0121. Thoughts?? If anyone has anything to support their answers that would be great! Thank you.
