Our surgeon often does an EGD with placement of PEG tube, but this is the first EGD we have done with removal of a PEG. We typically do this under local at the bedside or in the office. This patient was non-mobile, obese and the tube had been in a long time. He was unable to safely remove the tube in the office so he took her to endoscopy.
My question is could this be coded as 43247 EGD with removal of foreign body?![Confused :confused: :confused:](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
Thanks!
