Upper GI X-ray Series with Small Bowel Follow-Through

Tennessee rates for HCPCS 74248

This is the small-bowel portion of an upper GI x-ray study, billed in addition to a separately performed upper GI series. After the patient swallows a contrast liquid for the main exam, additional x-ray images are taken over an extended period as the contrast continues moving through the small intestine, helping to identify blockages, inflammation, or other abnormalities.
