Laparoscopic Fundoplasty

Does the code 43280 include repair of the hiatal hernia. Have 2 different articles, one indicating to use 43280 for both, as the repair would be incidental. Another article indicates to use 43281.
Thanks

re: Laparoscopic Fundoplasty

43280 is just the lap Nissen procedure. It does NOT include the repair of the hernia. 43281 is the fundoplasty with hernia repair w/out mesh and 43282 is w/ mesh.
