Question:
How is the removal of a patient's gastronomy tube (G-tube) in an office setting reported if the G-tube was previously placed by another physician? Note that a new G-tube was not placed.
Answer:
Report only the appropriate E/M level of office visit service (99202-99215) as appropriate, which may be based on MDM or time. Removal without replacement of a G-tube in an office setting is not reported separately.
