Bile Duct Telescope Exam During Surgery

Vermont rates for HCPCS 47550

Passes a fine telescope directly into the bile ducts while an abdominal operation is under way, so the surgeon can look inside them and confirm that stones or other problems have been cleared. A direct view avoids relying on X-ray pictures alone. It is billed in addition to the operation being performed.
