T83.490A vs T83.490S
T83.490A (Other mechanical complication of implanted penile prosthesis, initial encounter) compared with T83.490S (Other mechanical complication of implanted penile prosthesis, sequela), from the official CMS tabular data. T83.490A and T83.490S code the same injury at a different phase of treatment.
Can these codes be reported together?
Same injury, other encounter phase. T83.490A and T83.490S code the same injury at a different phase of treatment, set by the 7th character.
The 7th character records the type of care given at the encounter being coded (ICD-10-CM Official Guidelines, Section I.C.19.a), so one encounter takes one of these, not both.
