Often times the surgeons I code for will place a gastrostomy tube during an open procedure. Code 43830 Gastrostomy open is not separately billable, when done in conjunction with other open procedures. Often times I find myself considering using the add-on code 44015 to capture coding for the intra-op tube placement.
Why does this code only specify Jejunostomy, and why isn't their an add on code for gastrostomy tube intra-op placement?
