To code a diverting ileostomy, you would typically use the ICD-10-PCS code for the procedure performed. The specific code would depend on the details of the surgery, such as whether it was an open or laparoscopic procedure. Common codes include those in the range of 0DTE for "Ileostomy" or similar, depending on the exact nature of the surgery. Always refer to the latest coding guidelines for precise coding.

The CPT code for a partial colectomy with ileostomy and creation of a mucous fistula is typically 44160. This code specifically covers the resection of the colon and the establishment of an ileostomy. However, it’s important to confirm the exact code based on the specific details of the procedure and any other relevant coding guidelines.
A diverting ileostomy is a surgical procedure that creates an opening in the abdominal wall to divert the flow of intestinal waste from the ileum, which is the last part of the small intestine, into a stoma. This procedure is typically performed to allow the bowel to rest or heal after surgery, injury, or disease, such as inflammatory bowel disease. The waste is collected in an external bag attached to the stoma, and it may be temporary or permanent depending on the underlying condition being treated.
The ICD-9 code for ileostomy reversal is 45.73, which specifically refers to "Closure of ileostomy." This code is used when documenting the surgical procedure of reversing an ileostomy, restoring the normal function of the digestive tract. It's important to note that ICD-9 has been largely replaced by ICD-10, so it's advisable to verify the current coding standards for accurate billing and documentation.

Ileostomy is a surgical procedure in which a artificial anus is formed making an opening that connects to the the wall of the abdomen.
Someone would need an ileostomy if they had damage to the bowels that could not be corrected any other way.
An ostomy is a surgical procedure that creates an opening in the body for waste to exit. An ileostomy specifically involves creating an opening in the small intestine to divert waste. So, an ileostomy is a type of ostomy.
