Hi all,

I am wondering if any going in for fills could ask their doctors (or their billing person) what the CPT code is for the fills. I want to try to get my fills paid by insurance and want to do a little research via my policy before I get to that point.

Thanks,

Sula

Great question! I'm sure many could benefit from that answer.

I did do a Google search on CPT codes, all I could find was codes for the Lap Surgery, Lap Band adjustment/port and Lap removal. I'm wondering if they could use some sort of generic code for "injections?"

If anyone knows that would be great. I'm trying to budget how much this surgery is actually gonna cost me down the road.

what my docs office said is that once the intial care of 3 months is over if you have insurance a fill visit is an office co-pay and that is it.... it must be a billing thing.

I wonder if the lap band adjustment/port is the deal? I'll do some checking tomorrow as well. CPT codes are tricky sometimes.

The only way my insurance pays is if I have it done under flouro. Then they pay 100%. If I go to the office and have it done blind, I pay $100. ~Mandy

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
