Assign the following ICD-10-PCS codes: 0DV44ZZ. Restriction of esophagogastric junction, percutaneous endoscopic approach (Nissen fundoplication) 0BQR4ZZ. Repair right diaphragm, percutaneous endoscopic approach (laparoscopic right diaphragm hernia repair) 0BQS4ZZ.
However, the most common approach is the laparoscopic or percutaneous endoscopic approach. Some related ICD-10-PCS codes include, but are not limited to, the following: 0DV10ZZ, Restriction of upper esophagus, open approach 0DV14ZZ, Restriction of upper esophagus, percutaneous endoscopic approach
Since the objective of this procedure is to partially close the lumen of the esophagogastric junction, this is considered a Restriction procedure (ICD-10-PCS table 0DV) when reporting fundoplication, which may be referred to by eponyms including Nissen and Toupet. These procedures can be performed via an open or percutaneous endoscopic approach.
Both procedures, (the Collis procedures as well as the Nissen Fundoplication) are clearly documented and done laparoscopically. Any advice/help that you can offer will be greatly appreciated.

CPT 43281 is separately payable when performed with a bariatric procedure, CPT 43280 is not. The difference between the two codes is that in 43281 the hernia sac is removed and then the area is repaired; in 43280 the hernia is only repaired via sutures.
43281 & 43280 are not billable together nor do they allow a modifier to break them apart. 43775 & 43280 are not billable together nor do they allow a modifier to break them apart.
ANSWER: If the first stage is a sleeve gastrectomy, then request code 43775 (laparoscopic) or 43843 (open). On the second stage, if it is a completion laparoscopic DS use 43659 and describe the procedure; for an open use 43845 with a reduced service modifier -52 and describe the procedure as well.
A: For surgical intervention, fundoplication and esophageal sphincter augmentations with magnetic bands are pretty common procedures performed for gastroesophageal reflux disease, so I can see why you are seeing more of these procedures at your hospital. First, knowing the basics of these surgeries is important for inpatient coders.
More recent technology utilized for patients with gastroesophageal reflux disease includes placement of a flexible band of interlinked titanium beads with magnetic cores around the lower esophageal sphincter.
This surgery strengthens the esophageal sphincter, which reduces the amount of acid that regurgitates into the esophagus. Since the objective of this procedure is to partially close the lumen of the esophagogastric junction, this is considered a Restriction procedure (ICD-10-PCS table 0DV) when reporting fundoplication, which may be referred to by eponyms including Nissen and Toupet.
However, the most common approach is the laparoscopic or percutaneous endoscopic approach .
First, knowing the basics of these surgeries is important for inpatient coders. During fundoplication surgery, the upper curve of the stomach (the fundus) is wrapped around the esophagus and sewn into place so that the lower portion of the esophagus passes through a small tunnel of stomach muscle.

altering the route of passage of the contents of a tubular body part (CABG (Coronary artery bypass graft surgery (CABG) is a procedure used to treat coronary artery disease in certain circumstances. Coronary artery disease (CAD) is the narrowing of the coronary arteries (the blood vessels that supply oxygen and nutrients to the heart muscle), caused by a buildup of fatty material within the walls of the arteries. This buildup causes the inside of the arteries to become narrowed, limiting the supply of oxygen-rich blood to the heart muscle.
a procedure is considered significant if it is surgical in nature, carries a procedural risk, carries an anesthetic risk, and/or requires specialized training. Does not have to be performed in an operating room. Pg.100. Medicare Code Editor (MCE) is software that detects errors in coding on Medicare claims.
