Colonoscopy Through Stoma, Growth Destruction

Louisiana rates for HCPCS 44401

This service is an endoscopic examination performed through a surgical opening in the abdomen (a stoma) that connects to the intestine, used to destroy a growth or area of abnormal tissue that is too large or awkwardly positioned to remove simply by snaring or biopsying it. Methods such as heat or electrical current are used to destroy the tissue during the exam. This is used in patients who already have a stoma from a prior surgery, such as an ileostomy or colostomy.
