Charge code for NT suctioning

Like

Is anyone charging for NT suctioning? It looks like the CPT code 31720 may work, but I would like to know if anyone is using it successfully. Thanks!

NT suctioning, separate procedure 31720
That is the code we utilize when suctioning patients not
on a ventilator.
