Displacement of umbrella device, sequela

This code signifies a long-term complication arising from the displacement of an umbrella device, which is typically a type of inferior vena cava (IVC) filter. It indicates that the device has moved from its intended position, leading to ongoing health issues or requiring subsequent medical attention. This displacement can compromise the device's function and potentially cause new symptoms or exacerbate existing conditions.

Apply this code when documenting a patient's current condition that is a direct result of a previously displaced umbrella device. This includes situations where the displacement has led to chronic pain, vascular compromise, organ damage, or other persistent sequelae. It should be used when the patient is presenting for treatment or evaluation of these long-term effects, not for the initial displacement event itself.

• Always use this code as a secondary diagnosis, following the code for the specific sequela (e.g., chronic pain, IVC thrombosis).
• Ensure documentation clearly links the patient's current condition to the prior displacement of the umbrella device.
• Do not use this code for acute displacement events; instead, use the appropriate acute displacement code from the T82.52- series.
