Colonoscopy, Diagnostic

Minnesota rates for HCPCS 45378

A flexible, camera-tipped tube is guided through the rectum and around the full length of the colon up to where it connects with the small intestine, letting the doctor examine the lining for polyps, inflammation, or other abnormalities. This is the base diagnostic exam; if a polyp is removed or a biopsy taken during the same visit, that is billed as a different, related procedure instead. It's typically done under sedation and is the standard screening and diagnostic colonoscopy.
