Medicare allowed amount for participating (non-QP) physicians, before deductible, coinsurance and claim adjustments. Not a patient’s bill or a hospital charge.

What 43327 covers

The surgeon uses laparoscopic access to mobilize the stomach fundus and wrap it around the lower esophagus, reinforcing the barrier against reflux. A complete Nissen wrap and a partial Toupet wrap are familiar examples. General or foregut surgeons typically perform the operation in a hospital operating room for patients undergoing surgical treatment of gastroesophageal reflux; it may also be part of an operation addressing a hiatal hernia.

Select this code when the operative report supports laparoscopic fundoplasty, rather than an open or thoracic approach. Documentation should describe the approach and the fundal wrap performed; record any associated hernia work so the applicable code selection can be evaluated. Medicare assigns a 90-day global period, including the day-before preoperative visit and 90 days of related postoperative care. When multiple procedures are performed in the same session, the highest-valued procedure is paid in full and other procedures are subject to the standard 50% multiple procedure reduction. Assistant-at-surgery payment may be made; co-surgeon payment requires supporting documentation, and team surgery is not permitted.
