What is the correct CPT code for this procedure

 

[eescalante]

Depends. Was the catheter left in place for over an hour (often 24 hours) to measure ph (reflux)? Or withdrawn immediately? Was it a manometry/impedance catheter (measuring function), or just the ph catheter?

catheter based pH is 91034
impedance is 91038 (if over an hour) 91037 if under an hour
esophageal manometry is 91010
