Displacement of umbrella device, initial encounter

This code signifies that an umbrella device, typically a vena cava filter, has shifted from its intended position within the body. This displacement can compromise the device's effectiveness in preventing pulmonary embolisms or lead to other complications.

Apply this code when a patient presents with symptoms or imaging findings confirming the migration of an implanted umbrella device. This is used for the initial assessment and treatment of the displacement event.

• Ensure documentation clearly states "displacement" of an "umbrella device" (e.g., IVC filter).
• Confirm this is the initial encounter for the displacement; subsequent encounters would use a different seventh character.
• Look for associated complications, such as perforation or embolization, which would require additional coding.
