This code is reported when an infusion pump is used to administer enteral nutrition at a controlled rate. This ensures adequate nutrition and reduces feeding-related complications.
In simple words: This code covers a feeding pump that delivers liquid food through a tube into the stomach or intestines for people who can't eat normally.It's typically used over a long period and may have an alarm.

Example 1: A patient with dysphagia following a stroke requires a feeding tube and an enteral nutrition pump for controlled delivery of liquid food., An infant with a congenital digestive disorder needs an enteral nutrition pump to receive specialized formula at a precise rate., A patient with a bowel obstruction requires short-term enteral nutrition via a pump until the obstruction is resolved.
Documentation must justify the medical necessity of the pump, explaining why gravity feeding or other methods are unsuitable (e.g., reflux, aspiration, specific medical conditions).
** A new initial rental period for the pump (B9002) is required if enteral nutrition services using a pump are resumed after two consecutive months of not being needed, or if the beneficiary already receives enteral nutrition and certain criteria related to equipment function or repair are met.Accurate coding and documentation are crucial for appropriate reimbursement.
