Anesthesia for Surgery on the Food Pipe

Georgia rates for HCPCS 00500

Anesthesia care for operations on the esophagus, the muscular tube that carries food from the throat to the stomach. The anesthesia team protects the lungs from stomach contents, manages breathing when the chest or neck is opened, and monitors the patient through what can be a long procedure. The surgeon's work is charged separately.
