About 43774: Laparoscopic complete gastric band removal
Reports laparoscopic removal of the complete adjustable gastric band system, including its access port, when the device is removed rather than revised or replaced.
43774 is used when a surgeon removes an adjustable gastric band system laparoscopically, including the band and its connected access-port components. Bariatric and general surgeons may perform the operation when a patient needs the device removed because of a device-related problem or as part of a change in bariatric treatment. The service is generally performed in a hospital or ambulatory surgical facility.
Choose this code when the operative report supports removal of the complete system; removal of only a component is distinguished from complete-system removal. Document the laparoscopic approach and the components removed. CMS assigns a 90-day global period, which includes 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% reduction. Modifier 50 is not appropriate for this single gastric band system. Assistant-at-surgery payment may be made; co-surgeon payment requires supporting documentation, and team-surgery payment is not permitted.

43774 billing questions
When should I choose 43774 instead of 43772?
Use 43774 when the operative documentation supports removal of the complete adjustable band system. Code 43772 describes removal of a device component only.
Does 43774 include removal of the access port?
Yes. Complete-system removal includes the band and connected access-port components when those parts are removed during the operation.
How does the 90-day global period affect follow-up billing?
The day-before preoperative visit and 90 days of related postoperative care are included in the global period.
Should modifier 50 be appended?
No. This is removal of one gastric band system, so report the service without modifier 50.
Can an assistant or co-surgeon be reported?
Assistant-at-surgery payment may be made. Co-surgeon payment requires supporting documentation; team-surgery payment is not permitted.
How are other procedures in the same session paid?
Under the standard multiple procedure reduction, the highest-valued procedure is paid in full and other procedures are subject to a 50% reduction.
Where these rates come from
FeeBase calculates base physician payments from CMS work, practice-expense, and malpractice RVUs, adjusted by each locality’s geographic indices and the applicable conversion factor. Unavailable or separately priced services are labeled rather than assigned a made-up amount.
