Replacement of a Stomach or Colon Feeding Tube

Vermont rates for HCPCS 49450

A provider replaces an existing tube that passes through the skin into the stomach or large intestine, using imaging guidance to confirm the new tube is positioned correctly. This is typically done when a tube has become worn, blocked, or dislodged, using the existing tract rather than creating a new one. Imaging with contrast helps verify placement before the tube is used again.
