Upper Endoscopy (EGD, diagnostic)

An upper endoscopy lets a doctor look directly at the lining of the esophagus, stomach, and the first stretch of small intestine with a thin camera passed through the mouth. This code is the look-only version — no biopsy, no polyp removed, no narrowing stretched. It is done under sedation and usually takes well under half an hour.
