This procedure is a part of CCI Collection via CCI Picklist.
Additional Info
- This code is for new creation of a tracheostomy -- it may be done in the OR or at the bedside using a bedside trach kit, or a true open procedure
- It can be coded more than once, IF the tube falls out and the hole closes up, and as a result the procedure needs to be done again
- But do NOT code this if all that happened was the tube fell out and somebody came back and put a new one into the existing stoma
