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

What 43772 covers

A bariatric surgeon uses laparoscopy to remove a component of an adjustable gastric restrictive device. The system includes a gastric band, connecting tubing, and a subcutaneous access port; this code distinguishes removal of a component from removal of the complete system. A typical clinical context is removal of a band or port because of a device-related problem or a change in the patient’s treatment plan. The service is generally performed in a facility operating room.

Report this code when the operative record supports laparoscopic removal of a component only. Document the component removed and whether the remaining system components were left in place; removal of the complete device and port is distinguished by 43774. This major surgery has a 90-day global period, including the day-before preoperative visit and 90 days of related postoperative care. When multiple procedures occur in the same session, the highest-valued procedure is paid in full and others at 50%. Assistant-at-surgery payment may be made; co-surgeon payment requires supporting documentation, and team surgery is not permitted. Modifier 50 is inappropriate for this code.
