Wiki NG tube replacement code

[jweigel]

I'm looking for a code for NG tube replacement. One of our providers replaced a naso-gastric tube for a baby who's tube fell out. I can't find a code for that. We have never done that here in the office so I am unfamiliar with the coding.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thank you

NG tube placement that is not done fluoroscopically is not billable as a separate procedure (there is no CPT, the service would be considered part of the E&M).

43752 would be the procedure code. Guideance is included in the procedure
