Colonoscopy With Polyp Removal (Snare)

Vermont rates for HCPCS 45385

A procedure in which a flexible scope with a camera is passed through the rectum to examine the entire colon, with one or more polyps removed during the exam using a wire loop, or snare, that captures and cuts them off. Removing polyps during the same procedure avoids the need for a separate surgery and allows the tissue to be sent for lab analysis. Patients are typically sedated for comfort during the exam.
