Other tracheostomy complication. J95.09 is a billable/specific ICD-10-CM code that can be used to indicate a diagnosis for reimbursement purposes. The 2018/2019 edition of ICD-10-CM J95.09 became effective on October 1, 2018.
The proximal trachea had granulation tissue above the trachestomy tube site and at the stoma site. The tracheostomy tube was temporarily pulled out to advance the hopkins rod.
J95-J95 Intraoperative and postprocedural complications and disorders of respiratory system, not elsewhere classified J95.09 is a billable/specific ICD-10-CM code that can be used to indicate a diagnosis for reimbursement purposes. The 2022 edition of ICD-10-CM J95.09 became effective on October 1, 2021.
Next, using a cupped forceps and the hopkins rod the superior granulation tissue was removed entirely. Next, again with the cupped forceps the granulation tissue was grasped and removed entirely..
The granulation tissue in our patient may have been caused by prolonged mucosal irritation from the sharp edge of the metal TT and the trauma due to repetitive monthly changes of the tube. Tracheal stenosis can occur while the patient remains mechanically ventilated.

Coding for chemical cauterization of granulation tissue According to Medicare claims data, Current Procedural Terminology (CPT) code 17250 for chemical cauterization of granulation tissue (i.e., proud flesh) is a service increasingly reported by family physicians in the nursing facility setting.
In ICD-10-PCS the root operation for this procedure is Change and the objective of this procedure is to exchange a similar device (tracheostomy tube) without making a new incision or puncture. The Index main term entry is Change device in, Trachea, which directs the coding professional to Table 0B2.
Tracheoscopy/bronchoscopy Tracheoscopy and bronchoscopy are helpful adjunctive diagnostics when evaluating animals with tracheal, bronchial, and lower airway disease.
ICD-10-PCS Root Operations Root operations that take out solids/fluids/gasses from a body part. Root operations involving cutting or separation only. Root operations that put in/put back or move some/all of a body part. Root operations that alter the diameter/route of a tubular body part.
The chemical cauterisation of granulation tissue is a medical procedure used to manage wounds or tissue damage. Granulation tissue refers to new connective and vascular tissues that grow on the surface of a wound. Some examples include proud flesh, sinus, or fistula.
The cauterization of the site where the granuloma was is bundled in the debridement procedure and does not have a separate CPT code- this component of the service would be considered inclusive to CPT 11042.
The difference between “simple” and “complex” is not well-defined. The only description CPT gives to differentiate the two codes is that 30901 is “limited” and 30903 is “extensive.”
Open surgical tracheotomy (OST) Commonly a transverse (horizontal) incision is made two fingerbreadths above the suprasternal notch. Alternatively, a vertical incision can be made in the midline of the neck from the thyroid cartilage to just above the suprasternal notch.
Surgical tracheotomy can be performed in an operating room or in a hospital room. The surgeon usually makes a horizontal incision through the skin at the lower part of the front of your neck.
Open Tracheostomy A skin incision is then marked in the midline anterior neck 1 to 2 cm inferior to the carotid cartilage. A horizontal or vertical incision may be utilized. The incision is extended through the platysma muscle to expose the strap muscles (sternohyoid and sternothyroid), identifying the median raphe.
