Upper Digestive Tract X-Ray, Air Contrast Study

Georgia rates for HCPCS 74247

This covers an X-ray study of the upper digestive tract that uses both a swallowed contrast liquid and air to expand the stomach and intestine, giving a more detailed view of the lining than a standard contrast study alone. Images are taken as the contrast moves through the esophagus, stomach, and into the beginning of the small intestine. It helps evaluate symptoms such as pain, difficulty swallowing, or suspected abnormalities in this part of the digestive tract.
