Lower Bowel Scope With Band Ligation

Vermont rates for HCPCS 45350

This is an examination of the lower portion of the colon using a flexible lighted scope, during which small elastic bands are placed to treat swollen internal blood vessels, most often hemorrhoids. The banding cuts off blood flow to the tissue so it shrinks and falls away over time. It combines a diagnostic look at the lower bowel with a treatment step in the same visit.
