Colonoscopy (Diagnostic)

A colonoscopy uses a flexible camera passed through the rectum to look at the lining of the entire large intestine. This code covers a look-only exam — nothing is sampled or removed. If the doctor does take tissue or take out a polyp, the visit is billed under a different code.
