Does anyone know how to code an EUS with biliary drainage catheter? Would 43240 be okay even though it wasn't for a pseudocyst? Patient has pancreatic cancer. It was a failed ERCP with stent placement because he couldn't cannulate the bile duct. See note below:

your in the right direction with 43240, but you'll have to go unlisted here.
We use 47999 compared to 47801 + 43259 for Choledochoduostomy + EUS.
