Wiki codes for mickey button/gastrostomy button

[donna3679]

My pediatric surgeon performs on babies, he states placement of a mickey button or gastrostomy button. I know they can be placed at different times, but what surgical code do I use for the placement of the mickey button, and/or gastrostomy button?? We do these surgeries at the hospital, the babies are inpatient, so hospital supplies buttons, but what are our surgical codes. Please help!!

If he is performing it lap, I'd try 43653 - open, 43830. Usually, the pedi surgeons here will do a gastrostomy tube insertion and then it'll get switched out to a MIC-KEY button a short while thereafter. Hope it's of some help!
