Does anyone know the insurance code for the sleeve.

I have Humana...anyone else get coverage?

Hi,
as far as I know...the unofficial code for VSG is 43659

My BCBS does not cover it
Hopefully yours does!
good luck!

I have BCBS Federal they denied my claim.  I know that my claim had 43659.  When I called BCBS Federal they said they did not cover that cpt.  I also heard that 43843 could be used. Doc turned in a corrected claim with 43843 and still it was denied.  Hope I not getting you discouraged.   Best thing is to  call your doctor ask them.


best wishes
