 I had never heard of this myself so I looked it up on the Internet, and it is really interesting how they do all that work ahead of time and get things rolling, and then are ready for the patient coming in.    
My thought would be Code STEMI as long as it was not in the diagnosis, and if that is the way the doctor dictated it.  If he dictated that whole thing out, then it would have to be expanded, but Code STEMI sounds good to me.

CPT code modifers 
Subject: CPT code modifers 
  I am not sure how to transcribe CPT codes with modifiers.  Doctor dictates "CPT code 15734 with a modifier of 51."  Do I transcribe it as above, or is there a standard format for adding modifiers? 
 
Thank you in advance. 
	 
	
s/l profee code? 
Subject: s/l profee code?  
 
 Anybody know the correct way to type this?  It's a billing code dictated in the progress notes, which is done sometimes on one of my accounts.  I've searched the web and found it spelled every way imaginable, the billers and coders board here looks abandoned, and search of boards turned up nothing.    
I'm hoping someone out there in MT Land has the answer.  Thanks!

Basically, though, yes it's possible to have both a G tube and J tube and a JP drain has nothing to do with either.  (G and J tubes are used to put something into the body while a JP drain is used to take something out.)
