Diagnosis of acute small bowel obstruction The diagnosis of majority of cases of bowel obstruction can be made based on clinical presentation and initial plain radiograph of the abdomen. Luminal contrast studies, computed tomography (CT scan), and ultrasonography (US) are utilized in select cases.

If the intestine involved was the small bowel, CPT code 44120 (Enterectomy, resection of small intestine; single resection and anastomosis) should be used.
Resection is similar to excision except it involves cutting out or off, without replacement, all of a body part. Resection includes all of a body part or any subdivision of a body part having its own body part value in ICD-10-PCS, while excision includes only a portion of a body part.

(koh-LEK-toh-mee) An operation to remove all or part of the colon. When only part of the colon is removed, it is called a partial colectomy. In an open colectomy, one long incision is made in the wall of the abdomen and doctors can see the colon directly.

Resection involves: Cutting out or off, without replacement, all of a body part. Open approach involves: Cutting through the skin or mucous membrane and any other body layers necessary to expose the site of the procedure. Resection includes: Total nephrectomy, total lobectomy of lung. Sigmoid Colon body part includes:
0DTN0ZZ is a valid billable ICD-10 procedure code for Resection of Sigmoid Colon, Open Approach . It is found in the 2021 version of the ICD-10 Procedure Coding System (PCS) and can be used in all HIPAA-covered transactions from Oct 01, 2020 - Sep 30, 2021 .
While there are codes for ileostomy revision, such as 44312 (Revision of ileostomy; simple [release of superficial scar]) or 44314 (Revision of ileostomy; complicated [reconstruction in-depth]), this was not what was done. Rather, the ileostomy was moved to a new site, which is most appropriately coded as CPT code 44310 (Ileostomy or jejunostomy, non-tube).
In this case, the patient has acute respiratory failure (ICD-10-CM code J95.821: “Acute postprocedural respiratory failure”), which meets the definition of critical illness. However, I have found it very useful to include language in the critical care note that emphasizes this point, such as “The patient remains in critical condition requiring constant attention. He is in acute respiratory failure, which if left untreated would likely cause multiple organ failure and death. I have been monitoring his oxygenation, his arterial blood gases, and his pulmonary volumes and pressures. I have made adjustments as necessary to optimize his pulmonary function in order to ultimately wean him from the ventilator.” Language such as this is occasionally necessary to inform to coders of the severity of the patient’s clinical condition. In many electronic medical record (EMR) systems, it is possible to turn generic phrases such as the above into macros, allowing a few keystrokes to generate the entire paragraph. Obviously, specific activities and/or assessments should be included as appropriate.
The CPT code for the incarcerated hernia repair is 49561 (Repair initial incisional or ventral hernia; incarcerated or strangulated). Because it was one of other procedures, it requires modifier 51 (Multiple Procedures).
One option is to use modifier 62 (Two Surgeons). However, this modifier identifies procedures where two surgeons each perform specific aspects of the case. (A previous Coder’s Corner article discussed this issue in the placement of a ventriculoperitoneal shunt by a neurosurgeon and a general surgeon.) If the 62 modifier is used, then each surgeon receives a 60 percent payment of the total amount based upon the RVUs for the procedure; thus, there is a net 120 percent payment to the practice. However, if the 62 modifier is used, each surgeon must provide a formal operative report of their part of the procedure, and each surgeon must perform a different part of the procedure. Given that the narrative indicates that the acute care surgeon assisted the urologist in performing the re-siting, it appears that the 62 modifier solution is not appropriate because they were both working on the same aspects of the procedure simultaneously.
If the intestine involved was the small bowel, CPT code 44120 (Enterectomy, resection of small intestine; single resection and anastomosis) should be used.
Another option is to use modifier 80 (Assistant Surgeon) for the acute care surgeon. This appears more appropriate for the case described. With use of the modifier 80 by the surgeon, the urologist receives 100 percent of the payment for 44130 and the acute care surgeon receives 20 percent of the payment. Hence, the same total of 120 percent of the payment is received by the practice group.
However, on the day of the take-back surgery, two modifiers are required. First, a “24” modifier should be applied because the initial global package is still in place (and will remain in place for a total of 90 days).
