About 43887: Open gastric band port removal
Open surgery to remove only the subcutaneous port of a gastric restrictive device, without reporting removal of the device’s other components.
This service covers open removal of the subcutaneous port connected to a gastric restrictive device, such as an adjustable gastric band. The port sits beneath the skin and provides access for adjusting the band; the procedure addressed here is limited to removing that port component. A bariatric or general surgeon typically performs it in an operating room when the port is being removed but the work does not include removing the other device components under this code.
Report this code when the operative documentation supports an open approach and removal of the port component only. The note should identify the component removed and describe the procedure performed; do not use it for port revision or removal and replacement. Medicare assigns a 90-day global period, including the day-before preoperative visit and related postoperative care. For multiple procedures in one session, the highest-valued procedure is paid in full and other procedures are subject to the standard 50% reduction. Assistant-at-surgery payment may be made; co-surgeon payment requires supporting documentation, and team surgery is not permitted.

43887 billing questions
How is this different from 43886?
43887 reports removal of the subcutaneous port only. Use 43886 when the port component is revised rather than removed.
When would 43888 be reported instead?
43888 describes removal and replacement of the port component. This code is for removal only.
Can this code be used when the entire gastric band system is removed?
No. The service represented here is limited to the port component; complete device removal is a different service, such as laparoscopic removal of the device and port under 43774 when that approach and extent are performed.
What should the operative note document?
Document the open approach and identify the subcutaneous port as the component removed. The operative description should distinguish removal from revision or removal with replacement.
How does the 90-day global period affect postoperative billing?
The day-before preoperative visit and 90 days of related postoperative care are included in the global period. Medicare applies the standard multiple-procedure reduction when other procedures are performed in the same session.
Can an assistant or co-surgeon be reported?
Assistant-at-surgery payment may be made. Co-surgeon payment requires supporting documentation; team surgery is not permitted.
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.
