Metabolic Syndrome as PDX for Bariatric Surgery

I was wondering if anyone has encountered any issues with metabolic syndrome being the PDX in bariatric procedure cases? Instructional note on E88810 states use additional codes for associated manifestations-which at the bare minimum would be obesity and BMI.


I didn't know if payors dictated in LCD/NCD that obesity be the PDX?


Thanks in advance
