Colonoscopy Through a Stoma

Pennsylvania rates for HCPCS 44388

Examines the large bowel with a flexible camera passed through a stoma — the opening on the abdomen where the bowel has been brought out to the skin — rather than through the back passage. The lining is inspected along the length reached, and washings or brushings may be collected. It is the plain diagnostic look; removing tissue or treating something found is a separate service.
