new to GI coding

I have recently started coding for GI and I have several questions to you seasoned coders out there…your input is appreciated!
Is anyone billing for the consult appointment before the colonoscopy? I understand this is generally not a covered visit but I also understand many physicians are billing for them. I am referring to new patient, never had a colonoscopy before, some with symptoms, some with out.
I was told recently that Medicare and Medicaid are no longer covering a consult in or out patient when patient is in hospital or observation prior to an EGD or other GI procedures but I was told to bill them using the office visit codes-is anyone doing this? I’m not sure I am comfortable doing that and that is why I am asking.
Thank you for your input!
