J tube removal

Hello all,

Per Op note:


pre/post dx: pharyngeal carcinoma in remission


Procedure: Removal of port-a-cath, removal of J-tube


PROCEDURE: Under general anesthesia, the J-tube was pulled and the granulation tissue was cauterized and a dressing was applied. The site where the port was prepped and draped in the usual fashion and the previous port incisions were opened. The port was dislodged from the pocket. Sutures holding it in position were lysed and the catheter was extracted. The catheter tract was oversewn with Vicryl suture and the incision was injected with 0.5% Marcaine and closed with Vicryl suture in the deep tissue and intracuticular Monocryl and Steri-Strips for skin closure.


I see 36590 for port-a-cath but nothing for J-tube removal. As an ASC, would this be unlisted 43999?


Thanks for any thoughts!
