Chest Tubes. When someone says chest tube insertion, most coders immediately think of CPT 32551 as the code to represent this procedure. While CPT 32551 is certainly one valid code for a chest tube insertion into the pleura, it is not the only code that can describe this procedure.
A chest tube may be inserted through an open approach or a percutaneous approach. An open approach requires an incision in the chest wall to allow the tube to be passed into the pleura. If an open incision is made in the chest wall to place the chest tube, CPT 32551 is appropriate.
This phrase, when we break it down, means that a tube is creating a continual opening from the chest to the outside of the body (since thora- refers to the chest/thorax and ostomy means “to create an opening”).
For inpatients, the NG tube (NGT) is generally used to aspirate stomach contents or administer nourishment and medicine to people who cannot ingest anything by mouth.
When an NG tube is used for nutrition alone, it either runs continuously, 16 hours on and eight hours off, or by bolus feedings, meaning feeding is delivered en masse at one time. Bolus feedings are tantamount to eating meals three to five times a day. A Look at the Codes.
A Dobhoff tube is a small-bore, flexible tube that typically has an inside diameter of about 0.15 inches (4 mm) that is inserted into the stomach by way of the nasal passage.

NG intubation is medically necessary for a variety of clinical situations, including: Patients who can’t eat or swallow. Cases of neck or facial injuries. When mechanical ventilation is required or the patient is comatose. To relieve pressure on intestinal obstruction or blockage.
