Full Answer
Ileostomy status. Z93.2 is a billable/specific ICD-10-CM code that can be used to indicate a diagnosis for reimbursement purposes. The 2019 edition of ICD-10-CM Z93.2 became effective on October 1, 2018. This is the American ICD-10-CM version of Z93.2 - other international versions of ICD-10 Z93.2 may differ.
So the correct coding is 44146 or 44208 when a low anterior resection/low pelvic anastomosis partial colectomy and a diverting ileostomy is performed instead of a colostomy. For more information on colorectal coding, take a look at the KZA webinar Colorectal Surgery Coding and Reimbursement, or contact us for more information.
Z43.2 is a billable/specific ICD-10-CM code that can be used to indicate a diagnosis for reimbursement purposes. The 2022 edition of ICD-10-CM Z43.2 became effective on October 1, 2021. This is the American ICD-10-CM version of Z43.2 - other international versions of ICD-10 Z43.2 may differ.
The partial colectomy codes say “with colostomy”. Thank you for asking. We have recently revised the recommendation for this procedure based on new information. It is appropriate to use codes that say “with colostomy” (for example, 44141, 44146, 44208) when a diverting ileostomy is performed instead of a colostomy.
ICD-10 code Z93. 2 for Ileostomy status is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range - Factors influencing health status and contact with health services .

0DBB0ZZ' Assign the following ICD-10-PCS codes: 0DBB0ZZ Excision of ileum, open approach (for the ileostomy takedown); 0WQF0ZZ Repair abdominal wall, open approach (for parastomal hernia repair and stoma closure.)
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.
Diverting ileostomies are created to protect a rectal anastomosis or in situations with a risk of intestinal perforation. Currently, the application of a rod to hinder slippage of the loop is an established technique to perform a diverting loop ileostomy.
44146How do I report an open colon resection and colorectal anastomosis with loop ileostomy for fecal diversion? You should report CPT code 44146 (see Table 1).
In a loop colostomy, a loop of colon is pulled out through a cut in your tummy. The loop is opened up and stitched to your skin to form an opening called a stoma. The stoma has 2 openings that are close together. One is connected to the functioning part of your bowel, where waste leaves your body after the operation.
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.

To form a loop ileostomy, a loop of small intestine is pulled out through a cut in your abdomen. This section of intestine is then opened up and stitched to the skin to form a stoma. The colon and rectum are left in place.
A colostomy is an operation that connects the colon to the abdominal wall, while an ileostomy connects the last part of the small intestine (ileum) to the abdominal wall.
Since the ileostomy has no sphincter muscles, you will not be able to control your bowel movement (when stool comes out). You will need to wear a pouch to collect the stool. The stool coming out of the stoma is a liquid to pasty consistency.
An ileostomy is where the small bowel (small intestine) is diverted through an opening in the tummy (abdomen). The opening is known as a stoma.
The surgery will usually take 2–6 hours. During the procedure, the surgeon will remove 6–8 inches of the intestine. Removing this section will have no effect on the person's bowel function. The surgeon will also cut a small hole in the surface of the abdomen, which makes a stoma.
Reasons for having an ileostomy One of the most common reasons for an ileostomy is inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). The two types of inflammatory bowel disease are Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis.
Continent ileostomy (abdominal pouch) A nipple valve is made from part of the ileum. A few times each day you put in a thin, soft tube called a catheter to drain the waste out of the reservoir inside your belly.

Once this was completed, a left mid quadrant colostomy was fashioned which was marked preoperatively by excising a disc of skin, deepening it down through the subcutaneous tissues, opening the fascia in a cruciate type fashion and then placing a Mayo scissors through the fibers of the rectus muscle and poking full-thickness through the abdominal wall. Once this was done, it was dilated 2 fingerbreadths. The bowel was brought through after some of the fat was removed to allow it to pass through, and left intact with an Allen clamp. The abdomen was copiously irrigated with saline solution. When hemostasis was deemed adequate, Seprafilm was inserted. The peritoneum and posterior sheath were closed with a running 2-0 Vicryl stitch, and then the anterior sheath was closed with interrupted #1 Dexon stitches after irrigation of the subcutaneous tissue. Once this was completed, the subcutaneous tissue was re-irrigated. Skin clips were applied, and then the colostomy was matured by excising the staple row, and suturing the full-thickness to the skin to the full-thickness of the bowel circumferentially with 3-0 chromic catgut stitches. It was completely viable and digitalized and completely patent.
In ICD-10-PCS, the root operation "Bypass," is defined as altering the route of passage of the contents of a tubular body part. Bypass is coded when the objective of the procedure is to reroute the contents of a tubular body part. The range of "Bypass" procedures includes normal routes such as those made in coronary artery bypass procedures, and abnormal routes such as those made in colostomy formation procedures.

If so, I believe you can use sigmoid for the colostomy. Coding Clinic had info on this in 4th Qtr 2015. I have pasted the one regarding colostomy and APR below. A total of 4 codes are required.
