Hemorrhage due to genitourinary prosth dev/grft, sequela

This code signifies a delayed or residual effect of bleeding that occurred as a complication of a genitourinary prosthetic device, implant, or graft. This hemorrhage is no longer acute but has left a lasting impact or requires ongoing management. It indicates that the bleeding event itself has resolved, but its consequences persist.

Use this code when documenting a patient presenting with a sequela (e.g., anemia, scarring, chronic pain, organ damage) directly attributed to a prior hemorrhage that was caused by a genitourinary device. This applies to situations where the acute bleeding episode has passed, and the current encounter addresses the long-term effects.

• Always use in conjunction with a code describing the specific sequela (e.g., D62 for posthemorrhagic anemia).
• Ensure documentation clearly links the sequela to the prior hemorrhage and the genitourinary device.
• Do not use for active or acute hemorrhage; refer to T83.83XA for initial encounters or T83.83XD for subsequent encounters of active bleeding.
