Hi,
I'm looking for the cpt code for repositioning of an existing percutaneous gastrostomy tube. The 43761 is for repositioning of a naso or or-gastric tube not percutaneous. 49450/49452/49440/49446 are all for replacement or insertion of new tube.

In this case, there was a tube check done under fluoro, then the existing tube was pulled back 4cm. I have the 49465 code for the tube check but what can I use for the repositioning?

Thank you in advance for your help.
