What 43283 covers

This add-on represents laparoscopic surgical lengthening of the esophagus, commonly performed as a Collis gastroplasty. A foregut or general surgeon may perform it during laparoscopic repair of a paraesophageal hernia when mobilization leaves too little esophagus below the diaphragm for a tension-free repair. The surgeon creates additional esophageal length using the stomach; routine esophageal mobilization alone is not the lengthening service.

Report 43283 only with its qualifying primary laparoscopic paraesophageal hernia repair, 43281 or 43282. The operative report should establish that a short esophagus remained after mobilization and describe the lengthening actually performed. Do not report it merely because the surgeon dissected or repositioned the esophagus during hernia repair. CMS treats this as an add-on code billed with a primary procedure and paid within that procedure’s global period.
