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
 
According to ICD10data.com Z96.0 is used for presence of catheter and the below:

Approximate Synonyms
  • Presence of foley catheter
  • Presence of pessary
  • Presence of ureteral stent
  • Presence of ureteral stent (device to keep ureter open)
  • Presence of urinary prosthetic device
  • Vaginal pessary in situ
