Can I bill:
44625, 44625-59,51

For the closure and resection of a colostomy AND a mucos fistula in the same OP session?

It's coded once in the same anatomic area or surgical access point. Incidental findings are typically bundled.

Just to clarify, two ostomies were taken down, the mucos fistula was on the left side of abdomen and the colostomy was on the right side, both taken down, resected and closed. I'm good with coding 44625 X 2?
