Stomach Suctioning and Washout by a Doctor

Illinois rates for HCPCS 43753

A tube is used to suction the contents of the stomach and, when needed, wash it out with fluid, in a situation that requires a physician's own hands and judgement rather than routine nursing care, such as active bleeding in the stomach. Fluid is instilled and drawn back repeatedly to clear blood or contents. It is a bedside procedure with no scope or incision.
