Esophagus Scope to Remove a Swallowed Object

Nevada rates for HCPCS 43215

A flexible lighted scope is passed through the mouth into the food pipe, and an object stuck there, such as swallowed food, a coin or a bone, is grasped and pulled out. The lining is checked afterward for injury from the object. It is done with sedation and is often urgent because a stuck object can block swallowing or damage the food pipe.
