Can I use an acute problem diagnosis code with the removal of an IUD or do I have to use Z30.432? For example, this patient kept her IUD in for over 18 years and now has a tubo-ovarian abscess (N70.03) because of it. That is the diagnosis the physician wants to use for the removal of the IUD instead of a routine removal code. Or would a code from T83 be more accurate? Thanks in advance for your help.
