Presence of insulin pump (external) (internal)

This code indicates that a patient has an insulin pump, which can be either an external device worn on the body or an internal, surgically implanted pump. This presence signifies ongoing management of diabetes with this specific type of medical equipment.

Use this code for patients who are actively using an insulin pump for diabetes management, regardless of the type (external or internal). It should be reported as a secondary diagnosis to provide comprehensive information about the patient's medical devices and ongoing care needs.

• Always code this in conjunction with the appropriate diabetes mellitus code (e.g., E10.-, E11.-).
• This code is for the presence of the pump, not for complications related to the pump.
• Do not use if the patient is only on insulin injections or oral medications.
