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

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
