Wiki Intact Fundoplication

I'm a newer coder. . .and had a question that may seem easy to some. For one of the "postoperative diagnoses", 'intact fundoplication' was mentioned. From what I see that looks more like a procedure than a dx. Just needed some clarification. Thank you!

Wiki TIF Transoral Incisionless Fundoplication

Have a surgeon getting ready to do his first TIF procedure. All I'm finding is the unlisted 43499 code for this...is this still correct? Is anyone finding that Medicare will or won't pay for this procedure? What about other insurances? Any experience/information you have would be appreciated...
