ERCP is an endoscopic procedure that uses a flexible camera passed through the mouth, combined with X-ray imaging, to examine and treat problems in the bile and pancreatic ducts. It is commonly used to remove bile duct stones and relieve blockages that cause jaundice, often without open surgery.

Is GI surgery or cancer treatment covered by insurance, SSF or Bipanna Nagarik?
