Prior to 2019, a single code, 43760, was used to report replacement of a G-tube without imaging or endoscopic guidance. As of January 1, 2019, 43760 is no longer valid. Instead, CPT® introduced two new codes to better reflect the work involved when replacing gastrostomy tubes:
Mechanical complication of gastrointestinal prosthetic devices, implants and grafts. The 2019 edition of ICD-10-CM T85.5 became effective on October 1, 2018. This is the American ICD-10-CM version of T85.5 - other international versions of ICD-10 T85.5 may differ.
T85.5 should not be used for reimbursement purposes as there are multiple codes below it that contain a greater level of detail. Short description: Mechanical complication of gastrointestinal prosth dev/grft The 2020 edition of ICD-10-CM T85.5 became effective on October 1, 2019.

Tube dependency is an unintended result of long-term enteral feeding [13] and is defined as the active refusal to eat (or drink), lack of motivation or inability to learn, or showing no precursors of eating development and skills after long-term enteral feeding [12, 15, 28].
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.
For coding insertion of percutaneous gastrostomy tube placement, medical coders can report CPT code 49440 and 49441.
(gas-TROS-toh-mee toob) A tube inserted through the wall of the abdomen directly into the stomach. It allows air and fluid to leave the stomach and can be used to give drugs and liquids, including liquid food, to the patient. Giving food through a gastrostomy tube is a type of enteral nutrition.
43763 Replacement of gastrostomy tube, percutaneous, includes removal, when performed, without imaging or endoscopic guidance: requiring revision of gastrostomy tract. Both of these are done without endoscopic guidance. 43762 is just a simple removal with replacement.
ICD-10 code Z43. 1 for Encounter for attention to gastrostomy is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range - Factors influencing health status and contact with health services .

It can be permanent, when an organ must be removed. It can be temporary, when the organ needs time to heal. The organ could be the small intestine, colon, rectum, or bladder.
Mechanical complication of gastrointestinal prosthetic devices, implants and grafts 1 T85.5 should not be used for reimbursement purposes as there are multiple codes below it that contain a greater level of detail. 2 Short description: Mechanical complication of gastrointestinal prosth dev/grft 3 The 2021 edition of ICD-10-CM T85.5 became effective on October 1, 2020. 4 This is the American ICD-10-CM version of T85.5 - other international versions of ICD-10 T85.5 may differ.

Prior to 2019, a single code, 43760 , was used to report replacement of a G-tube without imaging or endoscopic guidance. As of January 1, 2019, 43760 is no longer valid. Instead, CPT® introduced two new codes to better reflect the work involved when replacing gastrostomy tubes:
If the gastrostomy tract has had time to mature (eg, at least four-weeks old), and the G-tube has not been removed for more than four to six hours, a replacement tube may be placed through the same gastrostomy tract. Removal and replacement may also be scheduled for a clogged tube.
As of January 1, 2019, 43760 is no longer valid. Instead, CPT® introduced two new codes to better reflect the work involved when replacing gastrostomy tubes: 43762 Replacement of gastrostomy tube, percutaneous, includes removal, when performed, without imaging or endoscopic guidance; not requiring revision of gastrostomy tract.
As explained in the February 2019 CPT Assistant: Gastrostomy tubes (G-tubes) may be inadvertently removed if traction is placed on the tube.
