We are under the impression that studies where we bill for the interpretation/reading, the date of service billed is the date of the interpretation and not the date that the study happened. In the case of esophageal manometries, Bravo capsule placement readings, small bowel capsule endoscopy, etc., we recently found on the Medicare/Medicaid website that the date of service should be the date of ingestion. Can you please help clarify?

Quality improvement (QI) in gastroenterology (GI), is a phrase that is often uttered in conferences, meetings, and on societal websites. It’s a concept that gastroenterologists know is important, but formal training in QI initiatives is not standardized.

The role of the endoscopy technician has traditionally been underrecognized within the gastrointestinal (GI) procedural team. Historically, technicians have received limited formal education, often relying on on-the-job training from senior colleagues. This has led to variability in skill levels and a lack of consistent professional development. Furthermore, the high turnover rate in this role prevents many technicians from evolving into true experts. This lack of advancement opportunities may contribute to job dissatisfaction and perpetuate workforce instability. These gaps can impact procedural efficiency, patient safety, and team cohesion. Given today's staffing challenges, it is reasonable to consider creative solutions, including cross-training other endoscopy team members to fulfill technician responsibilities during callouts or staffing shortages.

Recently we were advised by a representative from the company where we order our breath tests that we should be billing CPT code 91065 twice for each test being performed because the test is inclusive of both hydrogen and methane. So, if the patient does one breath test, and we measure both the hydrogen and the methane, can we/should we bill the code 91065 twice? Or as two units?
