Default nasojejunal tube placement

Code 43752: The descriptor does not indicate if this includes is a nasojejunal tube placement using EGD with fluroscopic guidance. If not what would the correct code be for a nasojejunal procedure with upper encoscopy and fluoroscopic guidance. Help. Thanks

Without seeing the procedure report, I suggest you look at the description of CPT 43761 and the instructions for fluoro to see if that fits the documented service.
