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.

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.”
