This is not an all-inclusive list of available revenue codes. Specific revenue codes selected will be determined by facility policies and procedures for billing medical services. It is recommended to review payor-specific billing guidance and facility contracts for specific payor-directed revenue codes. Table 7: Possible Revenue Codes Revenue Code 27x Supply 36x 37x Operating room services Anesthesia It is also permissible and often recommended to submit secondary diagnosis codes. Secondary diagnosis codes include V-codes, which classify circumstances other than a disease or injury into categories. V-codes associated with patients receiving LAGB are listed below.
