Personal history of (corrected) congenital malform of GU sys

This code indicates a patient's past medical history of a congenital malformation of the genitourinary system that has been corrected or resolved, but is not specifically classified elsewhere. This includes conditions such as corrected hypospadias, epispadias, or other structural anomalies of the kidneys, ureters, bladder, or genitalia present at birth. The "corrected" aspect signifies that the anomaly is no longer an active problem requiring primary treatment.

This code is appropriate for documenting a patient's history when they present for follow-up care, routine examinations, or treatment for unrelated conditions, and their medical record indicates a previously treated congenital genitourinary defect. It is used to provide a comprehensive medical history, particularly when the past condition may have long-term implications or require ongoing monitoring.

• Always assign this code as a secondary diagnosis, as it represents a historical condition.
• Ensure the medical record clearly states the congenital malformation has been "corrected" or is no longer an active problem.
• Do not use this code if the congenital malformation is still active, uncorrected, or requires ongoing primary treatment; in such cases, a code from Chapter 17 (Congenital malformations, deformations and chromosomal abnormalities) would be more appropriate.
