attention to GT
V 55.1 Attention to GT. Can anyone explain what all this code
incorporates? Does it include when medication is being applied around GT
site, or is it only for when G-tube itself is worked on (such as changed
out)?
Thanks (in advance).

I use the V55.x codes when any type of care is performed and they have never been questioned.
