CPT code for trach removal

The trach was removed and not replaced.

TracheOStomy vs TracheOTomy

For accurate response to surgical coding questions, please post the scrubbed procedure note.

If this was a tracheostomy closure you can use 31820.

If it was a tracheotomy ... no code for removal. Just E/M if done in office. If you had to go to the OR, then you might need an unlisted code.

Hope that helps.
