I have a question concerning the restrictions for reporting insertion of mesh (49568) with a Revision of colostomy with paracolostomy hernia repair (CPT 44346), normally you can only use the mesh code with incisional hernia repairs (49560-49566) or with (11004-11006). However, there are no CCI edits for 44346 and 49568, which confused me. Has anyone reported these codes together? Are they billable together?

Thanks to everyone for your help.
