What cpt code should be used for the removal of a gastrostomy tube when that tube is being removed by a different physician from the one who placed it? Would this be 43760, or would the use of an E/M code apply here?
 
"For bedside REMOVAL of a gastric or jejunal tube, use appropriate E/M code, eg, 99212 (level II, established patient), with appropriate documentation. Source: American Society of Gastrointestinal Endoscopy (ASGE) (http://www.asge.org/nspages/practice/patientcare/technology/02-enteral.cfm)"
