Wiki change of trach tube

[vkratzer]

Is there a code or should we be using E&M code?

Thanks

should include in E/M if the patient has already established fistula. Otherwise no code. If it is new trach w/o established fistula then bill 31502 Tracheotomy tube change prior to establishment of fistula tract.
