Feeding Tube Placement During Upper Endoscopy

Missouri rates for HCPCS 43246

A flexible scope is passed through the mouth into the stomach and used to guide the placement of a feeding tube that passes directly through the abdominal wall into the stomach. The scope shows the right spot from inside so the tube can be brought through safely and secured. It is done for people who cannot swallow enough food safely and need nutrition delivered straight into the stomach.
