Displacement of unsp cardiac electronic device, subs encntr

This code signifies a follow-up encounter for a patient experiencing a shift or movement of an implanted cardiac electronic device, such as a pacemaker or defibrillator, where the specific type of device is not documented. This displacement can lead to device malfunction or patient discomfort.

Apply this code when a patient presents for evaluation or management of a previously diagnosed displacement of an unspecified cardiac electronic device. This includes office visits, hospital outpatient visits, or inpatient admissions for assessment, repositioning, or replacement of the device during the healing phase.

• Requires an additional code to specify the type of cardiac electronic device if known (e.g., Z95.0 for pacemaker).
• The 7th character 'D' indicates a subsequent encounter, meaning the patient is receiving routine care during the healing or recovery phase.
• Do not use for initial diagnosis of displacement or for sequelae of the displacement.
