Revision of PCN Tubes

Date: Mar 3, 2014

Question:

This is the description of what was performed. "The Revolution fixation devices were removed. The external portions of the tubes were then relocated to a more lateral position and new fixation devices applied. This was done due to the patient having pain when supine." I am unsure what to code for this. Fluoroscopy images were taken at the beginning of the procedure to assess the internal portion of the tubes, and everything was fine. Would unlisted be the best option?
