Bile Duct Exam With Biopsy Via Existing Drainage Tract

Wisconsin rates for HCPCS 47553

Using a thin scope passed through an existing drainage tract in the abdomen, a doctor examines the bile ducts, the channels that carry bile from the liver to the intestine, and takes a tissue sample for testing. This approach works through a tract that is already in place from a prior drainage procedure, rather than requiring a new access point. It helps identify the cause of a bile duct blockage or abnormality.
