Wiki Dx help for post cath complication

[Cyndi113]

Hi there,

I have a provider who is looking for a complication code for post cath insertion for a hemodialysis fistula of the arm. I ended up using limb pain for the last one. But he has another one and is adamant that I find a more specific code. I have been unable to locate one.

Please, HELP??
Thank you,

I believe that she stated that the complication was the fistula.

I would try using 996.73 and E879.1.
