Patient had a "kink" in port and subsequently only the port was removed and replaced. Patient has Medicare. Looking at 43771 but I am not totally convinced this is what I want. Thanks for any suggestions!!

gastric port only replacement
If the restrictive device is a component, and the port is a component a revision of the port
part of the device could be 43771?

43773?
I kind of like 43773 if you take the word component and apply it to the port portion and not the restrictive device portion...if they are each considered an equal "component.

There is an open CPT code 43888 that fits the description perfectly - too bad it's Medicare and they dont like unlisted codes. Thanks all for the suggestions.
