your note says Reversal not Revison ( I don't see where they created a new stoma) the code for reversal is 44625. If there was extensive LOA-the physician needs to dictate addendum for time spent in order to bill for mod 22. 44346 paracolostomy hernia (stomal) is also separate procedure. (included in).

No the V code is perfectly fine as a primary for the colostomy closure. The reason for the encounter is exactly that attention to the colostomy. Do not be afraid to use the V codes as primary, if you use the neoplasm code you may be denied for medical necessity, since the presence of colon cancer is not a reason for a closure.
Z93. 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 Z93. 2 became effective on October 1, 2021.
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.

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.

The reversal is a small operation lasting approximately 30 to 60 minutes but still involves a general anaesthetic. You will usually be in hospital for about three to five days. You will have a small wound where your stoma (ileostomy) was.
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.)
CPT® 44204, Under Laparoscopic Excision Procedures on the Intestines (Except Rectum) The Current Procedural Terminology (CPT®) code 44204 as maintained by American Medical Association, is a medical procedural code under the range - Laparoscopic Excision Procedures on the Intestines (Except Rectum).
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.
There are two types of ileostomy - an end or a loop. In an end ileostomy, the colon and rectum may be removed or need to be rested to heal and the end of the ileum is bought out through the stoma. In a loop ileostomy, a loop of the small bowel is bought out through the abdomen and cut before being sutured down.
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.
