Colonoscopy With Destruction Of A Growth

Massachusetts rates for HCPCS 45388

This is a full colonoscopy during which a growth, such as a polyp or other lesion, is destroyed using a technique such as heat or laser rather than being physically snared and removed intact. It's used when a growth isn't well suited to simple removal with a wire loop or forceps. The scope examines the entire colon during the same exam.
