HCPCS 31625

Bronchoscopy, rigid or flexible, including fluoroscopic guidance, when performed; with bronchial or endobronchial biopsy(s), single or multiple sites

AI EXPLANATION: A bronchoscopy with biopsy is a diagnostic procedure where a physician examines the airways and lungs using a thin, flexible tube equipped with a light and camera. The instrument is gently guided through the nose or mouth into the windpipe and bronchial tubes. During the exam, small tissue samples are collected from the airway lining or lung to evaluate for inflammation, infection, or other lung conditions, sometimes with the assistance of real-time imaging.
