Guest guest Posted September 10, 2000 Report Share Posted September 10, 2000 hi, I read on yesterday's posts a question about cpt code 43659. this cpt code is for " unlisted laparoscopy procedure of the stomach " . Sometimes insurance companies require a copy of the op report when this code is submitted to verify what procedure was done. Also, every time an unlisted procedure code is used, a form is to be sent in to AHIMA (I think this is it) and eventually, if there are enough of these procedures done, a cpt code is eventually assigned to that procedure. hope this helps Leilla from Claremont NC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
