Breakdown (mechanical) of umbrella device, subs encntr

Breakdown (mechanical) of umbrella device, subsequent encounter

📋Clinical Description

This code indicates a mechanical failure or malfunction of an umbrella device, such as an atrial septal defect (ASD) or patent foramen ovale (PFO) occluder, during a follow-up visit. This breakdown refers to a structural issue with the device itself, not an infection or displacement.

🎯When to Use

Use this code when a patient presents for a subsequent encounter related to a previously implanted umbrella device that is now experiencing a mechanical breakdown. This could include issues like fractured struts, material fatigue, or other structural integrity problems identified during a follow-up imaging study or clinical assessment.

💡Coding Tips

Requires a 7th character "D" for subsequent encounter, indicating the patient is receiving routine care during the healing or recovery phase.
Distinguish from T82.515A (initial encounter) and T82.515S (sequela) based on the patient's phase of care.
Always code the underlying condition for which the umbrella device was implanted, if still relevant.
