Colonoscopy
I billed 45388 and 45380/59 and Medicare denied. Can anyone tell me what is wrong with this billing?

re: Colonoscopy
Here are the CCI edits for these codes for facility:
CCI Validation Report

45380Remove Code Colonoscopy and biopsy 7.4

45388Remove Code Colonoscopy w/ablation 0
(none)
(none)
I'm not sure why, but 45388 has a RVA of 0 for Medicare, in which case you would just bill the 45380.
