CPT Coding for Loop DS?

[Drew W. 0]

Hello, all. Does anyone happen to know what CPT code is used for the loop ds (SADI-S)? From what I've found, it is still considered experimental by insurance companies and doesn't have a specific code.

I would go with 43845 -Gastric restrictive procedure with partial gastrectomy, pylorus-preserving duodenoileostomy and ileoileostomy to limit absorption (biliopancreatic diversion with duodenal switch)

I coded for a few years. Still, drilling down to that level of specificity can be tough. Maybe someone else will chime in.
