Flexible Sigmoidoscopy With Polyp Removal (Snare)

Maryland rates for HCPCS 45338

During a flexible sigmoidoscopy, examining the lower part of the colon and rectum, a wire loop (snare) is passed through the scope and used to encircle and remove a polyp or other growth from the lining. The tissue is then sent to a lab to check whether it's benign or precancerous.
