Wiki Catheter

[debbiesom]

For chronic indwelling stents or chronic urethral catheters is anyone use Z96.0 for the Status code?

Our Epic uses this and I am not sure it is correct or not.
Z96.0 is for Urogenital IMPLANT (which to me is for a Penile IMPLANT)

I cannot find any code to indicate that patient has stents or a catheter in place. There are codes for infections, displacement and mechanical failure but not for Status that I can find.

Thanks,
Debbie
