Infect/inflm reaction due to insulin pump, sequela

This code signifies a past infection or inflammatory response that occurred as a complication of an insulin pump, and the patient is now experiencing the lingering effects or late complications of that initial event. It indicates that the acute phase of the infection or inflammation has resolved, but the patient continues to have residual problems directly attributable to it.

Apply this code when documenting follow-up care for a patient who previously experienced an infection or inflammatory reaction related to their insulin pump, and they are now presenting with long-term consequences. This includes situations where the initial complication has been treated, but ongoing issues such as chronic pain, scarring, or compromised tissue integrity persist.

• Always use this code as a secondary diagnosis, following a code that describes the specific sequela (e.g., scar, chronic pain).
• Ensure documentation clearly links the current condition to a past insulin pump-related infection or inflammation.
• Do not use for active infections or acute inflammatory reactions; those require codes from the T85.72X category without the "S" seventh character.
