SpyGlass


Posting:

Post as LC, psb IOC, psb LCBDE, psb endoscopic biliary exploration. Adding LCBDE alone will not pull spyglass.

Must add 47550 to cases that will require SpyGlass. 

Use this PL, which ONLY includes SpyGlass equipment and materials.

MUST be added in addition to lap chole or lap chole with IOC.

For billing, use CPT 47564 and also the 47550 code. 

The tower will live in Madison’s office for now.
