Hi,
We have a new Thoracic Surgeon that is doing this Surgery. The Repair included a Nissen fundoplication and wedge gastroplasty.
I have found the CPT code 43281 that includes the hernia repair and fundoplication....but I can not find any Lap code for 'wedge gastroplasty'
I found an "open" code CPT 43326 - fundoplasty w/gastroplasty, but then, this open code does not include the hernia repair.
I am sure that someone has come across this before, as my Surgeon has done 2 of the surgeries in the last week.
I would appreciate any help that you can give me..
Thanks so much!
Terri
