Bile Duct Endoscopy With Biopsy (ERCP)

Louisiana rates for HCPCS 43261

An examination of the bile and pancreatic ducts in which a flexible scope is passed through the mouth and stomach to the point where those ducts drain into the small intestine. Dye is injected so the ducts show up on X-ray, and small pieces of tissue are taken from a narrowed or suspicious area for testing. Sedation or anesthesia is used, and the laboratory examination of the tissue is charged separately.
