Anesthesia For A Diagnostic Chest Scope

California rates for HCPCS 00528

Covers the anesthesia for a scope examination inside the chest, done to look at the space between the lungs or the lining around them and to take samples. An anesthesia clinician manages your breathing and monitors you throughout, which matters here because the scope works close to the airway and the large vessels. The doctor performing the examination charges separately.
