must be confirmed using the code Tables.
EGD is an inspection procedure when no
other procedures, such as a biopsy or
excision, are performed with the EGD.
Body part inspected is the upper
intestinaltract. Approach is through the
mouth so ―via natural or artificial
opening endoscopic‖ is the choice for
this procedure.
