Presence of (intrauterine) contraceptive device

This code indicates that a patient currently has an intrauterine contraceptive device (IUD) in place. It signifies the ongoing presence of this form of birth control within the uterus.

Use this code when documenting a patient's current contraceptive status, specifically when an IUD is present. This is appropriate for routine gynecological exams, follow-up visits for other conditions, or when the IUD's presence is relevant to the patient's overall health record.

• Do not use this code for the insertion, removal, or checking of an IUD; refer to codes in category Z30.43-.
• This code is typically used as a secondary diagnosis to provide additional information about the patient's health status.
• Ensure documentation clearly states the patient has an IUD currently in place, not just a history of one.
