CODING HELP PLEASE!!!

OPERATION- EXPLORATION OF LUMBOPERITONEAL SHUNT AND EXCISION OF LEAKING SEGMENT OF SILASTIC TUBING OF THE LUMBOPERITONEAL SHUNT

DX- LEAKING SILASTIC TUBING ADJACENT TO A STRAIGHT CONNECTOR FROM RECENT REVISON


I am feeling this code should be 63744 but the hospital coders are kicking it back stating that a device charge is missing. Is there a specific device charge that goes with cpt 63744? I thought this was a stand alone code.


Thank you,

Stephanie
