Z46.59 is a billable/specific ICD-10-CM code that can be used to indicate a diagnosis for reimbursement purposes. The 2021 edition of ICD-10-CM Z46.59 became effective on October 1, 2020. This is the American ICD-10-CM version of Z46.59 - other international versions of ICD-10 Z46.59 may differ. Z codes represent reasons for encounters.
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.

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 .
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.
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 .
A gastrostomy feeding tube insertion is the placement of a feeding tube through the skin and the stomach wall. It goes directly into the stomach.
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, ...
The 2022 edition of ICD-10-CM Z46.59 became effective on October 1, 2021.
Categories Z00-Z99 are provided for occasions when circumstances other than a disease, injury or external cause classifiable to categories A00 -Y89 are recorded as 'diagnoses' or 'problems'. This can arise in two main ways:
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.
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.
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. The subsequent response provides correct coding guidance.
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.”
