If the surgeon goes in to do a laparoscopic lap band, and happens to identify a small hiatal hernia defect while there and repairs it. Should I bill for the lap band AND the hiatal hernia repair (if so, what code because there is no code for laparoscopic hiatal hernia repair), OR should I simply bill for the lap band, since he was already "in there" anyway? ...thoughts???
