I know we go around and around on this, so…….
Patient was seen in 2010 with a history of polyps (unknown if tubular or hyperplastic). Also unknown when colon prior to 2010 was performed. Patient had the procedure in 2010 and nothing was found. Patient also has a family history of colon cancer. Patient comes back this year for a colon and nothing was found. Since its been over 10 years since polyps were found is this now considered G0105 due to family history or should we be using CPT 45378 w/ history of polyps diagnosis?
Would appreciate any input on this
