Hi Does anyone know if there is a specific procedure code for Lap VSG? Found a generic code but it doesn't say laproscopic. Thanks in advance Mel

not every procedure has a seperate CPT for open or lap. example... the DS is 43845 regardless of whether it's LAP or Open

Pre: 324 Now: 185-190

Paul Would the code be 43843? VBG is different than VSG, so I am understanding that correctly that that would be the code. Mel
