HCPCS Code B4035: Enteral Feeding Supply Kit; Pump‑Fed, Per Day

B4035 is not a CPT code, but an HCPCS code for an enteral feeding supply kit for pump-fed patients, billed on a per-day basis. It includes feeding/flushing syringes, administration set tubing, dressings, and tape required for enteral nutrition via a pump system.

Medicare generally does not cover dietary thickening agents used to alter the consistency of liquids for patients with swallowing difficulties, as these are considered nutritional supplements or non-medical supplies.

Enteral nutrition supplies are billed under HCPCS codes such as B4034 (syringe-fed supply kit), B4035 (pump-fed supply kit), and B4036 (gravity-fed supply kit), depending on the method of administration.

Yes, Medicare covers enteral nutrition, including supplies and equipment, when medically necessary and properly documented. Coverage includes feeding pumps, tubing, and supplies (but excludes nutrients themselves unless meeting specific criteria).
