Hi there, we are trying to find information on billing esophageal stents if the provider caused a small rent during EGD/ERCP. I know if there is post polypectomy bleeding (caused by physician) you cannot bill for hemorrhage control. You can only bill hem control if the bleeding was encountered organically. Does this rule apply to stenting? Can we bill for the stent if the rent was caused by a blind approach? Thanks!

Posterior capsular rent dx code
If a patient comes in for cataract surgery and has a posterior capsular rent during the procedure, would ICD 10 code H59.211 for right eye be appropriate for this intraoperative complication? Thank you so much for your help.
