StawberryBlond 31 Posted February 4, 2014 A few years back I called our insurance and they called back a few days later and told me it wasn't covered. Now there is an online system and I pulled it up. Bariatrics isn't mentioned at all. Is there a Code that I should call and ask about to be certain? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Margie14 31 Posted February 4, 2014 I just called the insurance company and they told me where to find the coverage, precertifications, and what the benefits were. Do you have a customer service number on your insurance card? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
woo woo 872 Posted February 4, 2014 I also think that any bariatric program/surgeon's office will verify your insurance for you as well. They know exactly how to do it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DestinClair1983 72 Posted February 4, 2014 The CPT code for laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy is 43775. That's the code I gave to my insurance company to ask if they covered the sleeve gastrectomy. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
