I'm getting conflicting views on this service.
Percutaneous Tracheostomy
I'm reading that this cannot be coded with CPT 31600 because it's not a traditional Tracheostomy, and to use CPT 31600 and 31622 w/mod 52 or CPT 31899 (unlisted).
Per this article: http://www.supercoder.com/articles/...ous-tracheostomy-vs.-a-surgical-tracheostomy/
But than I read in Coding for Chest Medicine (Pulmonary Critical Care Sleep) book that this service is to be coded with CPT 31600 and CPT 31622 w/mod 59.
Which one is everyone else selecting, I see the point on both sides.
Thanks
