Bronchoscopy with Airway Fluid Wash

Washington, DC rates for HCPCS 31624

During a bronchoscopy, sterile fluid is instilled into a small section of the lung and then withdrawn to collect cells and fluid from deep within the airways for laboratory analysis. This technique, called lavage, samples a broader area than brushing or simple washing.
