Catheter removal in ED

If a patient returns to the ED for removal of a urinary catheter that was placed by another ED physician within the same group, what is the correct way to code the second visit?

I am no expert

but I would code the diagnosis as the reason for the catheter and code an ED visit based on the usual MDM standards; there is no code for removal of foley catheter (not should there be one- it is simple)
