Bronchoscopy With Destruction of Airway Blockage

Massachusetts rates for HCPCS 31641

A thin lighted scope is passed through the mouth or nose into the breathing tubes of the lungs, and a growth or a narrowed segment blocking the airway is destroyed in place using heat, cold, laser or a similar method rather than being cut out. The goal is to reopen the airway so air can move more freely. Patients are sedated or asleep for the procedure.
