Wiki Help with Dx code for removal of Biliary Stent

[GastroGal]

i was just wondering what ICD 10 code everyone was using for removal of Biliary Stent?

 

[thomas7331]

I'd suggest Z46.59 - Encounter for fitting and adjustment of other gastrointestinal appliance and device. The Z46 'includes' note indicates this category includes removal or replacement of the device.

It's what we use in our facility for biliary stent removal.
