Wiki malfunctioning hemodialysis catheter

[ggparker14]

Can anyon help me with a dx code for a malfunctioning hemodialysis catheter? Would I be correct with 996.56 or should this be 996.1?


Thank you for any help.

Dialysis Catheter

The correct code should be 996.1. 996.56 is for a peritoneal dialysis catheter.

what about 996.73?

Would it not depend on the type of complication?

996.73 - complication due to renal dialysis device /implant/graft.
