Repair of incarcerated paracolostomy hernia with mesh.

How do you bill this procedure. I used 44346 along with 49568 and Medicare denied the mesh (49568) as related or qualifying claim is not identified.

With the exception of incisional hernia repair (49560-49566) the use of mesh is not separately reported.
