Injection of Air or Dye Into the Abdomen

Utah rates for HCPCS 49400

Air or a contrast dye is injected through the abdominal wall into the space surrounding the organs so that imaging shows the area more clearly. Outlining that space helps show a hernia, a leak, or the position of organs and tubing. It is performed as part of, or in preparation for, an imaging study.
