A patient was brought into the ER for only re-insertion of a PEG button. Is there a CPT code for this?
 
I don't work for an ER department but If the reinsertion was done using an endoscopy I would go with the 43246 and V55.1; if not then I would use an unlisted code with the V55.1.

Just my opinion...any other feedback!!:eek:
 
No, endoscopy was not used. The doctor simply states that he re-inserted the button.
