My physician performed a colostomy with hartman preoperative to a plastic surgeon's planned flap procedure for Grade 4 decubitus ulcer on buttocks. The plastic surgeon wanted the procedure performed to divert the cecal stream and assist in wound healing after the flap procedure. I am having difficulty finding the appropriate ICD9 code. I have the codes for the ulcer but I'm not sure what other codes are appropriate. The payor is Medicare. Please help.... Thank you.
