Displacement of oth urinary devices and implants, subs

This code signifies the dislodgement or incorrect positioning of a urinary device or implant, other than a catheter or prosthetic, during a patient's follow-up care. This could include devices such as stents, artificial sphincters, or slings that have shifted from their intended anatomical location within the urinary system.

Apply this code when a patient presents for treatment of a displaced urinary device or implant after the initial placement. This is appropriate for subsequent encounters where the focus is on managing the complication of displacement, rather than the initial insertion or an acute, initial displacement.

• Ensure the documentation clearly states the displacement of a non-catheter/non-prosthetic urinary device.
• Confirm this is a subsequent encounter for the displacement, not the initial event or primary procedure.
• Always code with an external cause code (e.g., Y70-Y82) if the displacement is due to a medical device, and potentially a complication code (e.g., T83.8XXD) if other complications are present.
