Displacement of intrauterine contraceptive device, subs

This code signifies that an intrauterine contraceptive device (IUD) has shifted from its intended position within the uterus. This displacement can lead to reduced contraceptive efficacy, discomfort, or other complications.

Apply this code when a patient presents for follow-up care, evaluation, or management of an IUD that has been previously identified as displaced. This includes visits for symptom assessment, imaging to confirm displacement, or planning for removal or repositioning.

• Ensure documentation clearly states the IUD is displaced and that this is a subsequent encounter for this condition.
• Do not use this code for the initial diagnosis of displacement; a different encounter type would be appropriate.
• Consider additional codes for any associated symptoms (e.g., pain, abnormal bleeding) or complications.
