Examination of the Anus and Rectum Under Anesthesia
Vermont rates for HCPCS 45990
A thorough examination of the anus and rectum carried out with the patient anesthetised, so the area can be inspected and felt properly without pain or muscle guarding. It usually takes in the skin around the anus, an internal examination by finger, and a look inside with a short instrument. It is arranged when pain, spasm or distress makes a complete examination impossible in a clinic room.
