Adjustment of a Bile Duct Drainage Tube

Texas rates for HCPCS 47525

This covers a procedure to adjust, exchange, or reposition a tube that drains bile through the skin and into the liver's bile duct system, when the duct is blocked or not draining properly. The procedure is performed under imaging guidance to make sure the tube is correctly placed. This helps maintain proper drainage when bile cannot flow normally due to a blockage such as a tumor or gallstone.
