CPT Code 31631

CPT 31631 describes bronchoscopy, including fluoroscopic guidance, with a tracheal stent(s) placement and tracheal/bronchial dilation as required.

CPT Code 31634

CPT 31634 describes bronchoscopy, including rigid or flexible, with fluoroscopic guidance, balloon occlusion, assessment of air leak, and administration of occlusive substance (e.g., fibrin glue), if performed.

CPT Code 31635

CPT 31635 describes bronchoscopy, including removing foreign bodies with either rigid or flexible guidance and fluoroscopic guidance when performed.

CPT Code 31636

CPT 31636 describes bronchoscopy, including fluoroscopic guidance, with placing a bronchial stent(s) and initial bronchus dilation as required.

CPT Code 31638

CPT 31638 describes bronchoscopy, including revision of tracheal or bronchial stent inserted at a previous session, with fluoroscopic guidance and tracheal/bronchial dilation as required.

CPT Code 31640

CPT 31640 describes the excision of a tumor through bronchoscopy, rigid or flexible, with fluoroscopic guidance.

CPT Code 31641

CPT 31641 describes bronchoscopy, including fluoroscopic guidance, with the destruction of tumors or relief of stenosis by laser therapy, cryotherapy, or other methods than excision.

CPT Code 31643

CPT 31643 describes bronchoscopy, including fluoroscopic guidance, with placing a catheter(s) for intracavitary radioelement application, either rigid or flexible.

CPT Code 31645

CPT 31645 describes bronchoscopy, including fluoroscopic guidance, with the therapeutic aspiration of the tracheobronchial tree when performed initially.

CPT Code 31646

CPT 31646 describes bronchoscopy, with the therapeutic aspiration of the tracheobronchial tree, including fluoroscopic guidance, when performed, with a subsequent same hospital stay.

CPT Code 31647

CPT 31647 describes bronchoscopy, including fluoroscopic guidance, balloon occlusion, air leak assessment, airway sizing, and insertion of bronchial valve(s) in the initial lobe.

CPT Code 31648

CPT 31648 describes bronchoscopy as rigid or flexible, including fluoroscopic guidance, with removing bronchial valve(s) and initial lobe.

CPT Code 31652

CPT 31652 describes bronchoscopy, including fluoroscopic guidance, with endobronchial ultrasound (EBUS) guided transtracheal and/or transbronchial sampling (e.g., aspiration[s]/biopsy[ies]), one or two mediastinal and/or hilar lymph node stations or structures.

CPT Code 31653

CPT 31653 describes bronchoscopy, rigid or flexible, including fluoroscopic guidance, with endobronchial ultrasound (EBUS) guided transtracheal and/or transbronchial sampling (e.g., aspiration[s]/biopsy[ies]), of 3 or more mediastinal and/or hilar lymph node stations or structures.
