I was just told that I have to start using Category II codes when reporting a Follow-up Colonoscopy to Medicare. I have read a whole bunch of articles about when to use these codes but I am still unclear about them.
Does anyone know how and when to report the code 0529F? If I could get specific situations that would help greatly! Like if a patient comes in with 564.5 and gets a colonoscopy within the 3 years since their last one, do I use 0529F-1P? is that what they mean by documented medical reason? Please help!
