Breakdown (mechanical) of implanted penile prosthesis, subs

This code describes a mechanical failure of a previously implanted penile prosthesis that is being addressed during a follow-up visit. This breakdown could involve issues such as fracture, kinking, or detachment of components, leading to malfunction of the device.

Use this code for subsequent encounters where a patient presents with symptoms or findings directly related to a mechanical breakdown of their penile implant. This applies to office visits, outpatient procedures, or hospital admissions focused on evaluating or managing the failed prosthesis after the initial treatment phase.

• Ensure documentation clearly specifies a mechanical breakdown, not an infection or other complication type.
• Verify the encounter is "subsequent" (D) and not initial (A) or sequela (S).
• Pair with a procedure code if surgical intervention (e.g., revision, removal, replacement) is performed.
