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

What 43647 covers

This surgical service places or replaces gastric neurostimulator electrodes in the stomach antrum using a laparoscopic approach. A surgeon typically performs it in a hospital operating room for a patient receiving gastric electrical stimulation, often for severe, persistent symptoms associated with gastroparesis. The electrode procedure concerns the leads in the stomach; placement or replacement of the pulse generator is a separate service when performed and reported.

Medicare assigns CPT 43647 carrier-priced status (status C): there is no national payment amount, and the Medicare Administrative Contractor sets payment for each claim. The contractor also sets the global period. When multiple procedures are performed in the same session, the highest-valued procedure is paid in full and the others are paid at 50%. Report the code for the laparoscopic electrode procedure; code selection differs for open placement and for laparoscopic revision or removal.
