Mech compl of graft of urinary organ, subsequent encounter

This code signifies a mechanical issue, other than infection or erosion, affecting a transplanted or grafted urinary organ. This could involve a malfunction, displacement, or other structural problem with the graft itself, occurring during a follow-up visit after initial treatment.

Apply this code when documenting a patient presenting with a complication related to a urinary organ graft, such as a kidney transplant or ureteral graft, that is mechanical in nature and not an infection or erosion. This code is specifically for subsequent encounters, meaning the patient is receiving routine care or follow-up for the complication after initial management.

• Ensure the documentation clearly specifies a mechanical complication of the graft, excluding infection (T83.5-) or erosion (T83.0-).
• Verify that the encounter is a "subsequent encounter" (D) and not an initial encounter (A) or sequela (S).
• Always code the specific type of urinary organ graft (e.g., kidney, ureter) if a more specific code is available for the complication.
