Medicare definitely pays for J tube feedings at home. My husband had 34 radiation treatments and his esophagus was burned. He started out with a G tube but had to be converted to a J tube because he kept vomiting his tube feedings, which lasted about 2 months. We did not have to pay a dime for the home tube feedings. We do have a Medicare supplemental insurance so I imagine if you do not have that you would have to pay 20% of the costs.
