T83.09Other mechanical complication of urinary catheter

T83.09 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for other mechanical complication of urinary catheter. It belongs to category T83 (complications of genitourinary prosthetic devices, implants and grafts), block T80-T88 (complications of surgical and medical care, not elsewhere classified) and chapter 19 (injury, poisoning and certain other consequences of external causes). It is a header code, so it can't be reported by itself; one of its 4 subcodes must be used instead.

Within T83.0, choose T83.09 (Other mechanical complication of urinary catheter) only when documentation doesn't support a more specific option: breakdown (mechanical) of urinary catheter (T83.01), displacement of urinary catheter (T83.02) and leakage of urinary catheter (T83.03).

Codes in this range require a 7th character: A for initial encounter, D for subsequent encounter and S for sequela. Use placeholder "X" characters to fill any empty positions before the 7th character.

It has been part of ICD-10-CM since the code set took effect on October 1, 2015, and changed in FY2017 (title revised).
