What 43761 covers

This procedure corrects the position of a gastrostomy tube that remains in place but has shifted from its intended location. A physician, often an interventional radiologist or surgeon, manipulates the existing tube through the gastrostomy tract under fluoroscopic guidance and confirms its final position. The service includes contrast injection, image documentation, and a report.

Report 43761 when the existing tube is repositioned rather than exchanged. The procedure note should describe the tube’s initial position, the manipulation performed, and confirmation of its final position. Contrast imaging performed as part of the repositioning is included. Medicare assigns a 0-day global period, so same-day preoperative and postoperative care is included. When multiple procedures are performed in one session, the standard reduction pays the highest-valued procedure in full and other procedures at 50%. Modifier 50 is inappropriate. Medicare does not pay for an assistant at surgery and does not permit co-surgeons or team surgery for this code.

This summary was written with AI assistance from CMS physician fee schedule data and checked against the CMS billing rules shown here. Rates on this page come directly from CMS files.

43761 billing questions

When should 43761 be reported instead of 43762?

Use 43761 when the existing gastrostomy tube is moved back into position under fluoroscopy. Use 43762 when the tube is replaced without revision of the gastrostomy tract.

Does contrast imaging during repositioning need a separate code?

No. Contrast injection, image documentation, and the report are included in 43761 when performed as part of fluoroscopic repositioning.

What documentation supports 43761?

The report should identify the tube’s starting position, describe how the existing tube was repositioned, and document confirmation of its final position.

How does the global period affect same-day care?

The 0-day global period includes same-day preoperative and postoperative care associated with the repositioning.

How is 43761 paid with another procedure in the same session?

The standard multiple-procedure reduction applies: the highest-valued procedure is paid in full and other procedures at 50%.

Can modifier 50 or surgical-team billing be used?

Modifier 50 is inappropriate for gastrostomy tube repositioning. Medicare does not pay for an assistant at surgery and does not permit co-surgeons or team surgery for 43761.

Where these rates come from

FeeBase calculates base physician payments from CMS work, practice-expense and malpractice RVUs, adjusted by each locality’s geographic indexes and the conversion factor. Services without a published rate are labeled, never given a made-up amount. Amounts are Medicare allowed amounts before claim adjustments: not a patient’s bill or a commercial rate.
