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

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
