Displacement of other urinary catheter, subsequent encounter

This code indicates that a urinary catheter, other than a Foley or indwelling catheter, has moved from its intended position within the urinary tract. This displacement can lead to complications such as obstruction, leakage, or infection, requiring medical intervention.

Use this code for follow-up encounters where a patient presents with symptoms or signs of a dislodged or improperly positioned urinary catheter, such as a suprapubic catheter or nephrostomy tube. This applies after the initial treatment of the displacement.

• Requires a seventh character "D" for subsequent encounter, indicating ongoing care for the displacement.
• Distinguish from initial displacement (A) or sequela (S) encounters.
• Always code the underlying reason for catheterization if known and relevant to the current encounter.
