Airway Scope To Revise An Existing Stent

New Mexico rates for HCPCS 31638

A scope is passed into the windpipe or lung airways to adjust, reposition, or repair a stent that was placed at an earlier session. The airway may be stretched open as part of the same procedure so the stent sits correctly and air passes freely. It is done when an existing stent has shifted, narrowed, or become blocked.
