Question:
Does anyone know what the code is for LAP Gastric Bypass

I am going to the doctor today for a predetermination letter and the insurance company is not to helpful and I don't have a clue as to what I am doing!!!!    — NJChick (posted on August 19, 2003)

The procedure code (CPT) for a LAP Roux-en-Y is 43659. It is considered a unlisted procedure. There is a CPT code for the open RNY. But not one specificly for the Lap. Hope this helps!
