Wiki Egd w/ peg removal and replacement

[eskycity]

If we take a patient to surgery, remove a displaced PEG tube (cpt 43247) and replace the tube (cpt 43246), do I charge BOTH? If so, do I put a 59 modifier on one....which one?

I don't have my CPT with me, but I believe you would bill both with a 51 modifier on one.

That's what I was thinking....thanks!!
