Good Morning,

Can anyone help me with the coding for a Hi/Lo Endotracheal tube. It this coded like a NG tube or would it be considered more of an intubation?
 
It would continue to be the same CPT code for insertion of endotracheal tube you use now for your anesthesiologist. The hi/lo is just a brand name for the endotracheal tube.

Hope this helps ;)
