PTEG / PTEJ tube replacements - repost #12956

Date: Oct 21, 2019

Question:

I'm looking to verify tube replacement codes. My understanding is that the initial placements of both PTEG and PTEJ tubes would be an unlisted code (43999), and tube checks would be coded 49465 (question ID #10351). What about tube changes? Can I code 49450 and 49451, or are these unlisted as well?
