Wiki Abnormal position of IUD

[Leandra]

Would like some input from my peers on how I am coding this:

Pt's IUD is laying sideways in the uterine cavity and one end is embedded into the right lower endometrium.

Diagnoses: 1. Abnormal position of intrauterine device
2. Pelvic pain, acute

Procedure: Hysteroscopy and removal of mal-positioned IUD. (Done as outpt at hosp)

This is what I want to code:
996.32 and 625.9 with procedure code 58562.

I do not want to add 58301 because I think that is accounted for in 58562. Would it hurt if I also added V25.12 as another diagnosis?

Thanks for any input on this!

Looks like you have it down! I would put the V25.12 as the last dx code. You are right the hysteroscopy takes care of the removal so you would not use 58301.

Yay, I'm on the right track!
