Can anyone shed some light on how they are billing the different payors for the lap band adjustments after the 90 day global? I know Medicare doesnt recognize the S2083 so would you bill a visit? Does anyone know if Medicaid covers the adjustments?:confused:
 
Medicare lap band adjustments are billed as 43999 with ICD9 of V53.51. Medicaid in Kansas does not cover bariatric surgery, therefore they will not cover lap band adjustments so I don't know what CPT code works for them.
