Upper Digestive Tract X-Ray, Detailed Contrast Study

Georgia rates for HCPCS 74249

This covers a detailed X-ray study of the upper digestive tract using a contrast liquid the patient swallows, with images taken as the contrast moves through the esophagus, stomach, and into the small intestine. This version uses a more detailed contrast technique intended to show the lining of the digestive tract in finer detail than a standard study. It is used to evaluate symptoms such as pain, difficulty swallowing, or a suspected abnormality in this part of the digestive tract.
