Camera-Guided Lung Sample Before Larger Removal

South Dakota rates for HCPCS 32668

Covers the diagnostic step in which a small wedge of lung is cut out through small chest incisions using a camera and examined straight away, when the result leads on to removal of a larger part of the lung in the same session. It accounts for the extra work of that sampling stage. It is billed in addition to the larger lung removal.
