CORRECT
A code of 45385 should be used for the colonoscopy procedure with the removal of
polpys. No additional codes needed for the colonscopy since it included the colonoscopy
and removal of polyps. The moderate sedation also needs to be coded. A code of 99152
should be used to code the moderate sedation services provided by the surgeon for the
intial 15 minutes of intraservice time. An additional code of 99153 should be coded for
the additional 15 minutes of intraservice time for the moderate sedation since the
patient was sedated for a total of 30 minutes. No additional codes needed.

Your facility would like to improve physician documentation in order to allow
improved coding. As coding supervisor, you have found it very effective to provide
the physicians with
, ●
● a copy of the facility coding guidelines, along with written information
on improved documentation.
●
● the UHDDS and information on where each data element is collected and/or
verified in your facility.
●
● feedback on specific instances when improved documentation would improve
coding.
●
● regular in-service presentations on documentation, including its importance
and tips for improvement.
CORRECT
Giving feedback about specific ways that documentation could be improved can
help support physicians in improving documentation related to coding needs.
