Wiki NG Tube placement/exchange code

Provided Anesthesia for patient having a NG tube exchange. I found CPT code 43752, but does not list a code in the anesthesia crosswalk. Any suggestions?
 
I have billed this as 01999 with the -23 modifier in the past with success. Of course you will need to have a comparison code for the payer to consider to determine base units and I compared it to 44500/00740.

Hope this helps.

Julie, CPC
