Displacmnt of nervous sys device, implant or graft, subs

This code signifies that a previously implanted or grafted device within the nervous system has shifted from its intended position. This displacement is causing symptoms or requiring medical attention during a follow-up visit after the initial treatment of the complication.

Apply this code when a patient presents for care related to a dislodged nervous system implant, such as a vagus nerve stimulator, spinal cord stimulator, or intracranial pressure monitor, after the initial acute phase of the complication. This would be used for subsequent encounters for the management of the displacement.

• Ensure the encounter is for follow-up care of the displacement, not the initial treatment.
• Specify the type of nervous system device if known and documented.
• Always code the underlying reason for the initial device implantation if relevant to the current encounter.
