T83.120 vs T85.121

T83.120 (Displacement of urinary electronic stimulator device) compared with T85.121 (Displacement of implanted electronic neurostimulator of peripheral nerve electrode (lead)), from the official CMS tabular data. Both may be reported when both conditions are documented (Excludes2).

Can these codes be reported together?

Yes, when both are documented. T83.120 carries an Excludes2 note covering T85.121: “Displacement of electrode (lead) for sacral nerve neurostimulator (T85.121)”

Excludes2 marks distinct conditions — both may be reported when both are documented.
