recently our surgical group started performing the LINX procedures for the GERD. For the candidates that would benefit from this procedure verses the lap nissen. We are coding the 43281 or 43282, since each of our patients have the hiatal hernia repaired as well as the LINX device deployed as well. The deployment of the device (43284) is included in the primary procedure. Has anyone had any issues with billing this procedure?

Thanks,

Hope
