Wiki lap duodenal switch CPT code

It seems that Medicare has different opinions on what to code. For awhile they were accepting the open code but lately some have been denying and wanting the unlisted code. If you put in the narrative that records are available, they will request them rather than denying completely and then you have to do a reconsideration. Seems like no matter what you do they want it the other way. Good luck.

oh my gosh...........just when you think you know what they want they change it!!! I have a terrible getting them to take a sleeve, rather open or lap.ughhhhhhhhhhhhh.
