Wiki CPT for adjustment of Lap Band in office

[annevan1213]

When a patient returns to the surgeon's office for adjustment of the lap band, what is the CPT code charged? Basically the physician injects or removes saline from the band itself. This is done outside of the 90 day global period.

Thanks. Any information is appreciated.
