What is the correct way to code PEG tube removal done in the office with an EGD. Is it 43247,EGD with removal of foreign body,with icd-9 codes 935.2(foreign body in stomach),and V55.1,(attention to gastrostomy)? or 43870, closure of gastrostomy, surgical..I guess surgical wouldn't work, since it is EGD? or what? I used 43246 in July to code the insertion..Thanks for your help.
