T83.02 is a non-specific and non-billable diagnosis code code, consider using a code with a higher level of specificity for a diagnosis of displacement of urinary catheter. The code is not specific and is NOT valid for the year 2024 for the submission of HIPAA-covered transactions. Category or Header define the heading of a category of codes that may be further subdivided by the use of 4th, 5th, 6th or 7th characters.

Specific Coding Applicable to Displacement of urinary catheter

Non-specific codes like T83.02 require more digits to indicate the appropriate level of specificity. Consider using any of the following ICD-10-CM codes with a higher level of specificity when coding for displacement of urinary catheter:

  • T83.020 for Displacement of cystostomy catheter - NON-BILLABLE CODE

  • Use T83.020A for initial encounter - BILLABLE CODE

  • Use T83.020D for subsequent encounter - BILLABLE CODE

  • Use T83.020S for sequela - BILLABLE CODE

  • T83.021 for Displacement of indwelling urethral catheter - NON-BILLABLE CODE

  • Use T83.021A for initial encounter - BILLABLE CODE

  • Use T83.021D for subsequent encounter - BILLABLE CODE

  • Use T83.021S for sequela - BILLABLE CODE

  • T83.022 for Displacement of nephrostomy catheter - NON-BILLABLE CODE

  • Use T83.022A for initial encounter - BILLABLE CODE

  • Use T83.022D for subsequent encounter - BILLABLE CODE

  • Use T83.022S for sequela - BILLABLE CODE

  • T83.028 for Displacement of other urinary catheter - NON-BILLABLE CODE

  • Use T83.028A for initial encounter - BILLABLE CODE

  • Use T83.028D for subsequent encounter - BILLABLE CODE

  • Use T83.028S for sequela - BILLABLE CODE

Coding Guidelines

The appropriate 7th character is to be added to each code from block Complications of genitourinary prosthetic devices, implants and grafts (T83). Use the following options for the aplicable episode of care:

  • A - initial encounter
  • D - subsequent encounter
  • S - sequela

Inclusion Terms

Inclusion Terms
These terms are the conditions for which that code is to be used. The terms may be synonyms of the code title, or, in the case of "other specified" codes, the terms are a list of the various conditions assigned to that code. The inclusion terms are not necessarily exhaustive. Additional terms found only in the Alphabetic Index may also be assigned to a code.

Patient Education


Urine and Urination

Your kidneys make urine by filtering wastes and extra water from your blood. The waste is called urea. Your blood carries it to the kidneys. From the kidneys, urine travels down two thin tubes called ureters to the bladder. The bladder stores urine until you are ready to urinate. It swells into a round shape when it is full and gets smaller when empty. If your urinary system is healthy, your bladder can hold up to 16 ounces (2 cups) of urine comfortably for 2 to 5 hours.

You may have problems with urination if you have:

  • Kidney failure
  • Urinary tract infections
  • An enlarged prostate
  • Bladder control problems like incontinence, overactive bladder, or interstitial cystitis
  • A blockage that prevents you from emptying your bladder

Some conditions may also cause you to have blood or protein in your urine. If you have a urinary problem, see your health care provider. Urinalysis and other urine tests can help to diagnose the problem. Treatment depends on the cause.
