Introduce Fostamatinib in Up GI, Via Opening, New Tech 7

This code describes the administration of fostamatinib, a medication used to treat chronic immune thrombocytopenia (ITP), directly into the upper gastrointestinal tract. The introduction can occur through a natural orifice, such as the mouth, or via an artificial opening, like a gastrostomy tube. This procedure utilizes a new technology substance for therapeutic purposes.

This code is used when fostamatinib is administered orally or via a feeding tube into the stomach or duodenum for the treatment of chronic ITP in an inpatient setting. It specifically applies to the initial or subsequent introduction of this particular drug. This code is appropriate when the documentation clearly indicates the administration of fostamatinib and the route is via the upper GI tract.

• Ensure documentation specifies "fostamatinib" as the substance administered.
• Verify the route of administration is definitively into the upper GI tract (e.g., oral, nasogastric tube, gastrostomy tube).
• This code is for the introduction of the substance, not the substance itself.
