About upper endoscopy with biopsy
CPT 43239 is an upper endoscopy (EGD) in which tissue samples are taken from the esophagus, stomach or duodenum. It is the usual code when the exam is done to check for celiac disease, H. pylori, Barrett's esophagus or unexplained inflammation, since all of those need a sample to confirm.
What the price covers
The facility fee: the endoscopy room, nursing, the scope, biopsy forceps, sedation monitoring and recovery. Separately billed: the gastroenterologist, the anesthesia provider and the pathologist. Celiac work-ups often take four to six samples, so ask whether pathology is billed per specimen.

Why prices vary
