I have a Medicare patient that underwent sigmoid colectomy with ileostomy and now presents for takedown of his ileostomy. Preoperatively we did a colonoscopy to the cecum to check to make sure it had healed and was ready for a takedown. Do I code a regular 45378 since it's not a screening or because it's Medicare do I have to use G0121?

Thanks
