Displacement of insulin pump, sequela

This code describes a long-term complication or late effect resulting from the displacement of an insulin pump. It indicates that a previous insulin pump displacement has led to ongoing issues or conditions that are now being addressed. This is not for an acute, current displacement, but rather for the residual problems it caused.

Use this code when documenting conditions or symptoms that are a direct consequence of a past insulin pump displacement. Examples include chronic pain at the displacement site, persistent skin irritation or infection related to the prior displacement, or ongoing metabolic control issues attributed to the historical event. This code is appropriate when the original displacement is no longer an active problem, but its effects persist.

• Always sequence this code after the code(s) for the specific sequela being treated (e.g., chronic pain, infection).
• Ensure documentation clearly links the current condition to a past insulin pump displacement.
• Do not use for current, active displacement; refer to the acute displacement codes for those scenarios.
