ICD-10-CM Code for Gastrostomy status Z93. 1.
Gastrostomy tubes, also called G-tubes or PEG tubes, are short tubes that go through the abdominal wall straight into the stomach. Nasogastric tubes, or NG tubes, are thin, flexible tubes inserted through the nose that travel down the esophagus 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.
ICD-10 Code R63.3 3 is a non-specific and non-billable diagnosis code. This code is not valid for submission effective 10/1/2021 for HIPAA covered transactions.
Code R13. 10 is the diagnosis code used for Dysphagia, Unspecified. It is a disorder characterized by difficulty in swallowing. It may be observed in patients with stroke, motor neuron disorders, cancer of the throat or mouth, head and neck injuries, Parkinson's disease, and multiple sclerosis.
5: Abnormal weight gain.

Note. Z codes represent reasons for encounters. A corresponding procedure code must accompany a Z code if a procedure is performed. 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:

Answer. For simple placement of a NG/OG tube by a physician for aspiration/lavage (e.g. poisonings, GI bleeds) code 43753 (Gastric intubation, and aspiration(s) therapeutic, necessitating physician's skill (e.g., for gastrointestinal hemorrhage), including lavage if performed) is used.
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.
Rationale: In CPT® Index, look for Gastrectomy/Partial, which directs us to several codes including 43631-43635. When reviewing these codes in the main section of CPT®, code 43633 code descriptor represents a partial gastrectomy with Roux-en-Y reconstruction. Next, look for Vagotomy/with Partial Distal Gastrectomy in the CPT® Index. Code 43635 represents the vagotomy. Modifier 51 is not used as code 43635 is an add-on code and is modifier 51 exempt.
Rationale: Look in the ICD-10-CM Alphabetic Index for Hemorrhoids (bleeding) (without mention of degree)/internal (without mention of degree) which refers you to K64.8. Verification in the Tabular List confirms code selection.
Rationale: Look in the CPT® Index for Cholecystectomy/Laparoscopic which refers you to 47562-47564. Code 47564 is accurate for laparoscopic cholecystectomy when the exploration of the common bile duct is also performed. There is a diagnosis of cholelithiasis but no mention of obstruction and not with cholecystitis. The correct ICD-10-CM code is K80.20. In the ICD-10-CM Alphabetic Index, look for Cholelithiasis (cystic duct) (gallbladder) (impacted) (multiple) which instructs you to see Calculus, gallbladder. Look for Calculus/gallbladder you are directed to K80.20. Verify code selection in the Tabular List.
Look in the CPT® Index for Adenoids/Excision with a code range of 42830-42836. In this case, the patient is over 12 years of age upon presentation for the secondary adenoidectomy, further supporting the criteria for 42836.
Rationale: A Whipple procedure is also known as a pancreatoduodenectomy. Look in the CPT® Index for Whipple Procedure; it refers you to code 48150 . The code description verifies that this procedure involves a pancreatectomy and duodenectomy. The other eponyms can be found in the CPT® Index and do not involve the removal of the pancreas and duodenum.
Look in the CPT® Index for Gastroenterology, Diagnostic/Esophagus Tests/Motility Study which directs you to codes 91010, 91013. 91010 best describes the motility study with add-on code 91013 used to identify the acid profusion study. Parenthetical note under add-on code 91013 indicates it is reported with code 91010.
Rationale: For a Medicare patient the preferred code to report a screening colonoscopy is HCPCS code G0105 Colonoscopy/Screening/Individual at high risk. In the ICD-10-CM Alphabetic Index, look for Screening/colonoscopy which directs you to Z12.11. In the Tabular List, an instructional note under Z12 instructs the coder, "Use additional code to identify any family history of malignant neoplasm (Z80.-)". The patient is high risk due to a family history of colon cancer, look for Z80 in the Tabular List. Category Z80 required a 4th character to identify the organ system of the cancer. Fourth character 0 is used for Family history of primary malignancy neoplasm of digestive organs. To find the code from the Alphabetic Index look for History/family (of)/malignant neoplasm/gastrointestinal tract.
R63.3 is a valid billable ICD-10 diagnosis code for Feeding difficulties . It is found in the 2021 version of the ICD-10 Clinical Modification (CM) and can be used in all HIPAA-covered transactions from Oct 01, 2020 - Sep 30, 2021 .
Some clearinghouses may remove it for you but to avoid having a rejected claim due to an invalid ICD-10 code, do not include the decimal point when submitting claims electronically. feeding (infant or child) R63.3 see also Disorder, eating.
