Question:
Does anyone know the CPT coding for fills for the LAGB?

I will try this post again. Does it not bother anyone that there appears to be no CPT code for the fills? Why would the insurance companies approve this surgery and not have approval/codes for billing the follow-up care that is required? Again, If there is anyone out there whose insurance covers their fills please find out what cpt coding they use and reply to this post. Thanks, Stephanie    — Stephanie S. (posted on June 26, 2002)

Stephanie, you asked about CPT codes for "fills"? Can you be more specific? From my medical terminology, LAGB is Laparoscopic Gastric Bypass, and thers is a ICD-9 and CPT code for that, but until you can provide additional information, I'm sorry, I can't help you with "fills"? And, yes, it would bother me. I'll continue to check for you. You can e-mail me privately if you'd like at: [email protected]. ~~Hope this is helpful to you~~Hadiyah
