Wiki Lap gastric band placement w/ hiatal hernia repair

[Leanne]

Any suggestions on how to code this one? I can't find any laparoscopic hiatal hernia repair codes. Not sure if this would be included in the gastric band placement?

Thanks for any help!

You could try 43770 and 49659-51.

We also use 43281 (or 43282 if mesh is used).
