If you record a document in person, the Clerk-Recorder's Office will compute all fees for you. If you record by mail and are unsure of the total amount owed, you may send a check with a Not to Exceed notation with a specific maximum amount. Write this notation below the written dollar amount line on the check.
Bronchoscopy is visual examination of the bronchi, the branches of the lungs.
Why It Is Done. Bronchoscopy may be used to: 1  Find the cause of airway problems, such as bleeding, trouble breathing, or a long-term (chronic) cough. 2  Take tissue samples when other tests, such as a chest X-ray or CT scan, show problems with the lung or with lymph nodes in the chest. It also allows the doctor to remove small samples of tissue (biopsy). 2  Rigid bronchoscopy is usually done with general anesthesia and uses a straight, hollow metal tube. 3  It is used: 4  When there is bleeding in the airway that could block the flexible scope's view.
