Upper Endoscopy With Bleeding Control

Vermont rates for HCPCS 43255

During this upper endoscopy, a flexible scope is passed through the mouth to examine the esophagus, stomach, and the first part of the small intestine, and the physician also treats an area of active or recent bleeding found during the exam. Bleeding is controlled using techniques such as cautery, clips, or injected medication delivered through the scope. Combining diagnosis and treatment in a single procedure can avoid the need for a separate follow-up intervention.
