Wondering -if pt has cerebral palsy, had dental restoration due to tube feedings. Would I code 521.00, V44.0, 373.9. Have searched and searched and cannot seem to find a ICD for associated feeding tube.

Does the pt have a tracheostomy? That is V44.0. If they have a gastrostomy for the tube feedings, the status code is V44.1.
