Reversal of Hartman's colostomy

[Trendale]

Hello,
Do anyone know the correct code for a reversal of hartmans colostomy laparscopic? I believe 44206 is the appropriate code, but was not sure. Thanks in advance!

I believe the correct is actually:

44227 Laparoscopy, surgical, closure of enterostomy, large or small intestine, with resection and anastomosis

44206 would be used when performing the initial laparoscopic Hartmann's procedure, not the closure.

Thanks for the code and also for your quick response!
