Ohio rates for HCPCS 32484

Removes a single anatomical segment of a lung, a smaller unit than a whole lobe with its own airway and blood supply, through an incision between the ribs. Taking only the segment leaves more working lung behind than removing a whole lobe would. It is used for a small tumor or for disease confined to that one segment.
