Esophageal Manometry
CIM 50-25
Esophageal manometry is covered under Medicare where it is determined to be reasonable and necessary for
the individual patient. The major use of esophageal manometry is to measure pressure within the esophagus
to assist in the diagnosis of esophageal pathology including aperistalsis, spasm, achalasia, esophagitis,
esophageal ulcer, esophageal congenital webs, diverticuli, scleroderma, hiatus hernia, congenital cysts,
benign and malignant tumors, hypermobility, hypomobility, and extrinsic lesions. Esophageal manometry is
mostly used in difficult diagnostic cases and as an adjunct to x-rays and direct visualization of the esophagus
(endoscopy) through the fiberscope.
