Encounter for adjustment and management of infusion pump

This code signifies a patient visit focused on the routine care, programming, or troubleshooting of an implanted or external infusion pump. This includes activities such as refilling the pump, adjusting medication dosages, or addressing minor malfunctions to ensure optimal therapeutic delivery.

Apply this code for scheduled maintenance visits for patients with infusion pumps, such as those used for pain management, insulin delivery, or chemotherapy. It is also appropriate for encounters where the patient presents with concerns about pump function or requires a change in the infusion regimen.

• Always code the underlying condition requiring the infusion pump as a primary diagnosis.
• Do not use this code for initial insertion or removal of the infusion pump; separate procedure codes apply.
• Consider additional codes for any complications related to the pump, such as infection or mechanical failure, if applicable.
