Gastrostomy malfunction
Full Answer
I would use V55.1. Some coders might want to also use 536.42, mechanical complication of gastrostomy, but I'm not sure if a "displacement" is considered a "mechanical complication". Dislodgement of skin graft are coded to mechanical complication, hence I think 536.42 can use for dislodgement of gastrojejunostomy, but not sure about it...
If the reason for the encounter is just to remove and/or replace the G tube the correct code is the V55.1. A coder cannot diagnose a complication when the provider has not indicated that one exists. Hi, Debra.
ICD-10: T85.528. Short Description: Displacement of gastrointestinal prosth dev/grft. Long Description: Displacement of other gastrointestinal prosthetic devices, implants and grafts. This is the 2019 version of the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code T85.528.

ICD-10-CM Code for Gastrostomy malfunction K94.
ICD-10-CM Code for Gastrostomy status Z93. 1.
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. In intubated patients, an NG or OG (orogastric) tube is often in place and set to low-intermittent suction (LIS).
43763 Replacement of gastrostomy tube, percutaneous, includes removal, when performed, without imaging or endoscopic guidance: requiring revision of gastrostomy tract.
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].
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 .
Listen to pronunciation. (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.
Presence of gastrostomy (artificial opening to stomach) Present On Admission.
For coding insertion of percutaneous gastrostomy tube placement, medical coders can report CPT code 49440 and 49441.
CPT® 49450, Under Replacement Procedures on the Abdomen, Peritoneum, and Omentum. The Current Procedural Terminology (CPT®) code 49450 as maintained by American Medical Association, is a medical procedural code under the range - Replacement Procedures on the Abdomen, Peritoneum, and Omentum.

Displacement of other gastrointestinal prosthetic devices, implants and grafts 1 T85.528 should not be used for reimbursement purposes as there are multiple codes below it that contain a greater level of detail. 2 Short description: Displacement of gastrointestinal prosth dev/grft 3 The 2021 edition of ICD-10-CM T85.528 became effective on October 1, 2020. 4 This is the American ICD-10-CM version of T85.528 - other international versions of ICD-10 T85.528 may differ.

A type 2 excludes note represents "not included here". A type 2 excludes note indicates that the condition excluded is not part of the condition it is excluded from but a patient may have both conditions at the same time. When a type 2 excludes note appears under a code it is acceptable to use both the code ( Z43.1) and the excluded code together.
The appropriate 7th character is to be added to each code from block Complications of internal prosth dev/grft (T85). Use the following options for the aplicable episode of care:
The Index to Diseases and Injuries is an alphabetical listing of medical terms, with each term mapped to one or more ICD-10 code (s). The following references for the code T85.528 are found in the index:
The following clinical terms are approximate synonyms or lay terms that might be used to identify the correct diagnosis code:
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.
