Duct Endoscopy With Cell-Level Imaging

South Dakota rates for HCPCS 0397T

During an examination of the bile and pancreatic ducts with a flexible scope passed through the mouth, a fine probe magnifies the lining of the duct enough to see individual cells while the procedure is happening. This helps show whether a narrowing is harmless or cancerous, and it is billed in addition to the main scope examination.
