Z93. 1 is a billable/specific ICD-10-CM code that can be used to indicate a diagnosis for reimbursement purposes.
Encounter for attention to gastrostomy The 2022 edition of ICD-10-CM Z43. 1 became effective on October 1, 2021. This is the American ICD-10-CM version of Z43.
Gastrostomy: A surgical opening into the stomach. A gastrostomy may be used for feeding, usually via a feeding tube called a gastrostomy tube. Feeding can also be done through a percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy (PEG) tube.
Though both terms are often used interchangeably, g-tube implies tube placed in the stomach only while peg tube may be tube placed in the stomach, duodenum, and jejunum. A gastrostomy, G, or PEG tube is always in the stomach.
What is a PEG? PEG stands for percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy, a procedure in which a flexible feeding tube is placed through the abdominal wall and into the stomach.
Z93.1Z93. 1 - Gastrostomy status | ICD-10-CM.
Gastrostomy is a surgical procedure where an opening is made in the stomach, whereas gastrectomy is a procedure where a part or the complete stomach is surgically removed. Gastrostomy is usually an endoscopic procedure for feeding through a tube where due to some advanced condition the patient is unable to swallow.
For coding insertion of percutaneous gastrostomy tube placement, medical coders can report CPT code 49440 and 49441.

In ICD-9-CM, if the NGT was used for feeding only, it was captured with ICD-9-CM code 96.6, enteral infusion of concentrated nutritional substances. In ICD-10, however, proper coding of NG feeding tube insertion requires coders to consider a few more details.
Therefore, if the sole objective of inserting the NGT (Dobhoff tube) is for feeding purposes, then code only 3E0G36Z, Introduction of nutritional substance into upper GI, percutaneous approach.
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. Use of this particular type of NG tube is considered a best practice. Following insertion, correct placement is confirmed by X-ray.
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.
The ICD-10-PCS reference manual defines introduction as “putting in or on a therapeutic, diagnostic, nutritional, physiological, or prophylactic substance, except blood or blood products,” and gives the example of “infusion of total parenteral nutrition via central venous catheter: 3E0436Z.”
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.
