But doctor unable to dilate.One week later, paient was brought back to hospital and placed under general anesthesia. Doctor attempted D&C and Hysteroscopy but again, unable to dilate. Performed ECC and tissue was sent to pathology.( Results benign.)

How do I code for first attempt ( Endomterial Biopsy)?

How do I code for second attempt ( D&C,Hysteroscopy)?

How do I code for ECC done on same day (as attempted D&C,Hysteroscopy)?

Any help is GREATLY appreciated.
