Displacement of other cardiac electronic device, init encntr

This code signifies that a cardiac electronic device, other than a pacemaker or defibrillator, has shifted from its intended position within the body. This displacement can compromise the device's function and may necessitate medical intervention.

Use this code when documenting the initial presentation of a patient experiencing symptoms or complications due to the displacement of a cardiac electronic device such as an implantable loop recorder (ILR) or a cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) device (if not specifically a defibrillator or pacemaker). This applies to the first time the displacement is medically addressed.

• Ensure the documentation clearly specifies "displacement" and not another type of malfunction or complication.
• Verify that the device in question is not a pacemaker or defibrillator, as those have more specific codes for displacement.
• Confirm this is the "initial encounter" for the displacement; subsequent encounters would use a different seventh character.
