Stent via ERCP procedure is usually a gastrointestinal device. Better to go with this one, instead of the unspecified code. </p> http://www.supercoder.com/forum/topic/coding-help-for-ercp-stent-removal#post-465 Mon, 08 Mar 2010 16:47:59 +0000 apoorba ganguly 465@http://www.supercoder.com/forum/ <p>Yes, that's one Dx code. You can also add another Dx if the reason for (diagnostic condition) stent removal is also mentioned in the document [like stent infection, inflammation of internal tissue etc.] </p> http://www.supercoder.com/forum/topic/coding-help-for-ercp-stent-removal#post-463 Mon, 08 Mar 2010 14:40:14 +0000 Melanie Cramer 463@http://www.supercoder.com/forum/ <p>OHHH.. something just crossed my mind - wouldnt v53.90 be needed? </p> http://www.supercoder.com/forum/topic/coding-help-for-ercp-stent-removal#post-461 Mon, 08 Mar 2010 14:32:43 +0000 Melanie Cramer 461@http://www.supercoder.com/forum/ <p>fantastic!!!

The code covers stent removal because this is also considered as a foreign body. </p> http://www.supercoder.com/forum/topic/coding-help-for-ercp-stent-removal#post-459 Mon, 08 Mar 2010 13:40:11 +0000 Melanie Cramer 459@http://www.supercoder.com/forum/ <p>Maybe its just me - or the caffeine hasnt hit me yet (its Monday, anything goes!) - Im trying to find the CPT code that indicates a ERCP-related stent that is being removed....</p> <p>Any takers?
