ICD-10 Codes for Gastrostomy Tube Placement Find below the list of the common ICD 9 diagnosis codes with their ICD 10cm conversion codes; used for Percutaneous Gastrostomy Tube Placement: ICD-10 Code K21.0 Gastro-esophageal reflux disease with esophagitis 530.11 Reflux Esophagitis (ICD 9) ICD-10 Code K20.9 Esophagitis, unspecified
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.
Gastrostomy tubes (G-tubes) may be inadvertently removed if traction is placed on the tube. Inadvertent G-tube removal is a common complication, usually occurring in combative or confused patients who pull on the tube.
As explained in the February 2019 CPT Assistant: Gastrostomy tubes (G-tubes) may be inadvertently removed if traction is placed on the tube. Inadvertent G-tube removal is a common complication, usually occurring in combative or confused patients who pull on the tube.
Description of CPT code 43762 & 43763 To report gastrostomy tube change without imaging or endoscopic guidance, the medical coders have to report new CPT codes 43762 or 43763 from 1st January 2019. These codes already include the gastrostomy tube kit.

The principal indication for a jejunostomy is as an additional procedure during major surgery of the upper digestive tract, where irrespective of the pathology or surgical procedures of the esophagus, stomach, duodenum, pancreas, liver, and biliary tracts, nutrition can be infused at the level of the jejunum.
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.
43762For CPT 2019, code 43760 will be deleted and replaced with two new codes (43762, 43763). Gastrostomy tubes (G-tubes) may be inadvertently removed if traction is placed on the tube.

43246 is probably the most appropriate code if you are looking for a true percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy(PEG) tube.
A percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy (PEG) is a procedure to place a feeding tube. These feeding tubes are often called PEG tubes or G tubes. The tube allows you to receive nutrition directly through your stomach. This type of feeding is also known as enteral feeding or enteral nutrition.
The physician inserts G-tube in those patients so that they can take adequate nutrition by mouth. However, some patients (mostly children) are unable to tolerate feeding of food directly into the stomach. The G-tube is required to be converted into GJ tube in these cases. This article covers all the ICD Codes and CPT Codes required for ...
Gastrostomy Tube Placement Procedures. The patient is placed supine on the procedure table and prepped and draped sterilely. The physician places a tube through the skin and into the stomach and uses x-rays to make sure it is in the right place.
Gastro Jejunostomy Tube (GJ-Tube) Procedure. This is a feeding tube which is inserted through the gastrostomy stoma in the abdominal wall, passes through the stomach and advanced into the jejunum. This tube feeding directly into the intestines is called Gastrojejunostomy tube (GJ-Tube).
This is a tube inserted into the stomach through a small incision in the abdomen. The tube goes through the skin (percutaneous) to the stomach wall and then into the stomach. This tube feeding into the stomach is called gastrostomy tube (G-Tube).
The G-tube is required to be converted into GJ tube in these cases. This article covers all the ICD Codes and CPT Codes required for the medical billing of this conversion procedure under fluoroscopic guidance. There are some adult patients, who cannot take enough food through the mouth or have swallowing food problems, ...
In these cases, replacement of the G-tube is “straightforward and would be reported with code 43762,” CPT Assistant continues, and provides the following example:
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.
