Displacement of urinary electronic stimulator device, subs

This code signifies that an implanted electronic device, designed to stimulate the urinary system (e.g., for bladder control), has shifted from its intended position. This displacement can lead to device malfunction or discomfort for the patient.

This code is used when a patient presents for follow-up care related to a previously identified displacement of their urinary electronic stimulator. It indicates that the initial treatment or diagnosis of the displacement has already occurred, and the current encounter is for ongoing management, evaluation, or further intervention.

• Ensure documentation clearly states the encounter is subsequent to the initial diagnosis or treatment of the displacement.
• Always code the underlying reason for the stimulator implantation if still relevant and being addressed.
• Do not use for initial diagnosis of displacement; a different seventh character would be appropriate for the initial encounter.
