Displacement of other cardiac electronic device, subs encntr

This code indicates that a previously implanted cardiac electronic device, other than a pacemaker or defibrillator lead, has shifted from its intended position. This displacement is causing issues or requires intervention, and the patient is presenting for follow-up care or treatment related to this specific complication.

Apply this code when a patient returns for evaluation or management of a displaced cardiac electronic device (e.g., an implantable loop recorder, cardiac resynchronization therapy device generator) after the initial treatment of the displacement or after the initial implantation. This is appropriate for subsequent encounters following the acute phase of the complication.

• Ensure documentation clearly states the device involved is not a pacemaker or defibrillator lead.
• Confirm the encounter is for follow-up care or ongoing management of the displacement, not the initial diagnosis or acute treatment.
• Pair with an external cause code if the displacement was due to an external event (e.g., fall, trauma).
