Coding and reimbursement for gastrointestinal endoscopic procedures in primary care

W L Larimore et al. J Fam Pract. 1994 Aug.

Abstract

Endoscopic diagnostic procedures have become part of the comprehensive care provided by many primary care physicians, and when these physicians interact with third-party payers, they must correctly report the endoscopic services they have provided. Included in this review are commonly used upper and lower gastrointestinal endoscopic procedure codes; corresponding reimbursement values from one state's Medicare and Medicaid program; lists of diagnosis codes used in reporting upper and lower endoscopy services; and instructions for reporting visits and intravenous anesthesia associated with endoscopy procedures.
