Encounter for attention to ileostomy 2016 2017 2018 2019 2020 2021 Billable/Specific Code POA Exempt Z43.2 is a billable/specific ICD-10-CM code that can be used to indicate a diagnosis for reimbursement purposes. The 2021 edition of ICD-10-CM Z43.2 became effective on October 1, 2020.
With those definitions in mind, here are the three code choices for closure of an enterostomy: CPT 44620: Closure of enterostomy, large or small intestine; CPT 44625: Closure of enterostomy, large or small intestine; with resection and anastomosis (other than colorectal)
CPT describes an “ostomy takedown procedure” as “closure of an enterostomy.” An enterostomy is a surgically-created connection between part of the intestine and another structure.
Code 44625 describes takedown of the colostomy and the re-approximation of the bowel ends, whereas 44340 describes only takedown of the colostomy.
A stoma reversal is surgery to attach your bowel together after a colostomy or ileostomy (also called ostomies). During ostomy surgery, the bowel was separated and attached to an opening made in the skin of your belly. The opening is called a stoma. Stool passes through the stoma and out of your body.
ExcisionOstomy Procedures – Ileostomy “takedown”: 0DBB0ZZ, Excision ileum, open • CC, Third Quarter 2016 states: The root operation for ileostomy takedown is "Excision," because part of the ileum is removed. The anastomosis is considered inherent to the surgery and not coded separately.

Permanent Ileostomy In the standard or Brooke ileostomy (also known as an end ileostomy), surgeons pull the ileum up and through an incision in the abdomen. Then they turn the ileum inside out and suture it to the abdomen to create a stoma. Waste coming through the stoma is deposited into an external pouch.
Ileostomy diverts the ileum to a stoma. Semisolid waste flows out of the stoma and collects in an ostomy pouch, which must be emptied several times a day. An ileostomy bypasses the colon, rectum, and anus and has the fewest complications.

High-output syndrome (HOS) is a complication of ileostomy, which can affect quality of life significantly; however, its exact cause remains unknown.

Z77-Z99 Persons with potential health hazards related to family and personal history and certain conditions influencing health status
If you work for a surgeon specializing in colorectal procedures, chances are you have seen your fair share of ostomy takedown procedures. When you first start checking CPT for a code for a “takedown,” though, you may find yourself coming up empty. The reason for this is that surgeons use the term takedown in their operative reports while CPT uses the word “closure” in the codes that cover this procedure. Both terms really have the same meaning, but until you know about the difference in language you may see in reports verses what you will see in the CPT manual, the whole thing can be pretty confusing. So let’s breakdown the terminology and codes for an “ostomy takedown” and see how that looks in CPT so you can quickly choose the correct code.
We can confirm the definition of enterostomy by breaking the word down into its parts: entero- means “of or pertaining to the intestine” (this could refer to either the small or the large intestine) while -ostomy means “an artificial opening between two structures.”. So when we put these word parts together we have “an artificial opening between ...
That’s why closing the ostomy created during a Hartmann’s procedure would typically fall under CPT 44626.
CPT 44626: Closure of enterostomy, large or small intestine; with resection and colorectal an astomosis (e.g., closure of Hartmann type procedure)
So in this procedure, you may see various parts of the intestine reconnected such as ileum to ileum, ileum to remaining colon, colon to colon, etc. If two structures other than the colon and the rectum are reconnected after removing part of the intestine and closing the ostomy site on the abdominal wall, it’s a 44625.
