My surgeon did an open parastomal hernia repair with mesh with ileostomy stomal revision.
I see the code 44346 for "revision of colostomy with repair of paracolostomy hernia"
And I know to use the 49560, 49568 codes for parastomal hernia repair.
Can I bill 44312 with the above hernia codes for this? HELP! Thank you! Nichole

This topic was covered in the January 2015 Q&A Webinar.

If you missed the webinar, it is a great idea to sign up for the CCO Club. That way you will get access to the recording of the webinar, conveniently divided into video clips by topic. You also get the transcript, answer sheets, and a chance to earn a CEU for the webinar by passing a 10 question quiz. Not only that, but you can access all the available resources for past webinars, too!

Also check out www.youtube.com/Medicalcodingcert and see if the video has been uploaded yet... that is search the channel using the keyword: hernia.
