Surveillance colonoscopy is a subset of screening, performed at an interval less than the standard 10 years from the last colonoscopy (or sooner, in certain high-risk patients), due to findings of cancer or polyps on the previous exam. Discovery of a polyp or cancer during a screening exam does not change the screening intent. Screening colonoscopy is defined as a procedure performed on an individual without symptoms to test for the presence of colorectal cancer or polyps. Much of the confusion with respect to coding for colonoscopy arises from the dichotomy between screening and diagnostic colonoscopy.
