One technique is allowed per polyp or lesion; therefore, a code for the polyp removed
by snare (45385) would be appropriate as well as a separate code assignment for the
biopsy(ies) performed to other sites. The polyp that was hot biopsied was not removed
and, therefore, would be included in the 45380 with biopsy code. Cauterization to
control bleeding created by the excisions or biopsies is included in the procedures
assigned.
