In ICD-10, however, proper coding of NG feeding tube insertion requires coders to consider a few more details. In the Coding Clinic edition published during the second quarter of 2015, on page 29, a question was asked about the insertion of a nasogastric tube for drainage and feeding.
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.
Here’s what you need to know to be sure your coding is current and correct. A gastrostomy tube, or G-tube, is a tube inserted through the abdomen to deliver nutrition directly into the stomach. Prior to 2019, a single code, 43760, was used to report replacement of a G-tube without imaging or endoscopic guidance.

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.
The American Society for Parenteral and Enteral Nutrition (ASPEN) recommends warm water as the best option to attempt to unclog a feeding tube. They suggest attaching a 30- or 60-mL piston syringe to the feeding tube to help dislodge the clog. Pull back on the plunger to see if that dislodges the clog.
If a percutaneous gastrostomy endoscopic (PEG) tube is dislodged within a month after placement, then endoscopic replacement is recommended. However, if the tube is dislodged after 4 to 6 weeks when tract maturity is expected, bedside replacement is usually sufficient.
4324643246 is probably the most appropriate code if you are looking for a true percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy(PEG) tube.
ICD-10 code R63. 3 for Feeding difficulties is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range - Symptoms, signs and abnormal clinical and laboratory findings, not elsewhere classified .
A PEG (percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy) feeding tube insertion is the placement of a feeding tube through the skin and the stomach wall. It goes directly into the stomach. PEG feeding tube insertion is done in part using a procedure called endoscopy. Feeding tubes are needed when you are unable to eat or drink.

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 As of January 1, 2019, 43760 is no longer valid.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.
