VSG CPT CODE - Federal BCBS
uncertainty replied to babygirlinokc's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
Hang in there. The AMA has assigned a CPT code for LSG (laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy) to be public 11/1/09, effective 1/1/10. We are turning the corner on sleeve gastrectomy......the best option. I paid cash and would do it all over again, but my life has changed and there will be no need to further procedures. Lost 112 lbs. By the way, United Health Care issued a National Coverage Decision on LSG and are now covering as of 10/1/09. This does not necessarily mean the local United affiate that administers your plan will cover, but will pay attention when United Parent has issued coverage statement.:cursing:
