Gastroenterology is a branch of medicine that studies the digestive system and its disorders. This service specializes in diseases of the gastrointestinal tract, including organs from the mouth to the anus, along the digestive tract. Doctors who practice in this area are called gastroenterologists.
To maintain an appropriate and financially successful practice, gastroenterologists must be aware of the various coding guidelines and protocols for specific payers. Medical billing and coding for gastroenterology is challenging and requires expert knowledge to ensure maximum payment. These issues include billing for colorectal cancer screening versus the colonoscopy, gastrointestinal motility and function tests, documenting appropriate levels of assessment and management services, category III codes for the treatment of GERD, and the use of modifiers.
