Replacement of a Lap Band port

I am looking for the CPT® code for the replacement of a Lap Band port because it was cracked and leaking.

I found CPT® 43659 but it states to use this for removal and replacement of gastric band and port components.

Any help would be great.

Thanks,
Jenny, CPC

43659 is the only choice since it is a unlisted CPT® there is no need of adding Modifier 52.
