Need some coding assistance regarding screening vs diagnostic colonoscopies.
When a patient comes in for a screening and a polyp is found, removed and sent for pathology, or a biopsy is done, would you code V76.51 first and then the result such as benign neoplasm of colon, 211.3 etc..? Or do you code the findings?
