Question:
If an endoscope is used to check for residual tumor or ensure an aneurysm is clipped, is there a code for that or should we also bill an unlisted code?

Answer:
There is no separate coding for this – ensuring that the procedure you’re billing for is adequately performed would not be separately reported.
