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

What 43886 covers

This service addresses a problem with the subcutaneous access port used for an adjustable gastric band, such as a port that has shifted or cannot be accessed as intended. The surgeon exposes the port through an open incision and revises the port component; the work is limited to that component rather than revision of the band or gastric anatomy. It may be performed in a hospital or other surgical setting by a surgeon managing the patient’s bariatric procedure.

Report this code when the operative documentation supports an open approach and revision limited to the subcutaneous port. Distinguish it from removal alone, removal with replacement, and a broader revision of the gastric restrictive procedure. Medicare assigns a 90-day global period, including the day-before preoperative visit and related postoperative care. When multiple procedures occur 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.
