  1. Could this be coded as 569.89? Patient had this found in the areas of the cecum and hepatic flexion... Doctor did a biopsy of these folds - however, no other findings were determined during the procedure - patient has personal history of polyps.

    V12.72 is confirmed however, I am hoping there is a viable code for the hypertrophic folds found...

  2. 569.89 is the nearest code for the hypertrophy in cecum / hepatic flexion (or for any other part of intestine). You are correct to pick up that.

  3. Apoorba - thank you thank you!!!!!!
