I would like to know if these two codes can be billed together, I am thinking that the 43775 would be billed first then the 43282 with a modifier 59. Would this be correct? Help!!!:confused:
 
Here is the NCCI Manual comment that will tell you all you need to know

CPT codes 43281 and 43282 describe laparoscopic paraesophageal hernia repair with fundoplasty, if performed, without or with mesh implantation respectively. These codes should not be reported for a figure-of-eight suture often performed during gastric restrictive procedures.

If its not related to the figure-of-eight suture you should be able to use 59 on the 43282
