Displacement of insulin pump, subsequent encounter

This code signifies that an insulin pump, previously implanted, has shifted from its intended anatomical position. This displacement can compromise the pump's function, potentially affecting insulin delivery and blood glucose control. It indicates a follow-up encounter for this specific complication.

Use this code when a patient presents for evaluation or management of a known insulin pump displacement after the initial treatment of the complication. This applies to situations such as a patient returning for repositioning, repair, or replacement of the displaced pump. It is appropriate for any subsequent visit related to the displacement after the initial diagnosis and treatment.

• Ensure documentation clearly states "displacement" of the insulin pump and specifies it's a subsequent encounter.
• Do not use for initial diagnosis or treatment of the displacement; refer to the initial encounter code for that.
• Always code with an external cause code (e.g., W00-Y38) if the cause of displacement is known and relevant.
