Do you agree? 'we cannot bill for screening fobt when done during a rectal exam because only one sample is tested. this does not meet the qualification for the code. this method is considered to be included in the payment for the office visit.'

Depends on laws and: That varies depending on whatever applicable local laws and rules are present. Because doctors and patients often cannot know the cost of a visit until after a visit, because the government likes to have a hand in everything, and because insurers don't enjoy paying for services, there ends up being excessive rules. It is possible that SEPARATE billing for a SINGLE FOBT is not standard procedure.
