Am I correct in not billing 45380 Colonoscopy bx with 45382 control of bleeding ???

This is my first time coming across this scenario so I appreciate feedback to know I am coding correctly. : )

Doctor provides CPT codes performed as 45380 Colonoscopy with biopsy and 45382 w/ control of bleeding.

His documentation states – FINDINGS: There was some mucosal inflammation and irregularity in the rectum. It was biopsied with cold biopsy forceps. After the biopsy, injection of hypertonic saline with epinephrine was performed to achieve hemostasis at the biopsy sites.

Since the control of bleeding was done at the same spot as the biopsies can I only bill for the 45380??

TIA
