Encounter for adjustment or removal of myringotomy device (stent) (tube) Z45.82 is a billable/specific ICD-10-CM code that can be used to indicate a diagnosis for reimbursement purposes. The 2019 edition of ICD-10-CM Z45.82 became effective on October 1, 2018.
The most common etiology of biliary obstruction is choledocholithiasis or gallstones, causing extrahepatic bile duct blockage. The most serious manifestation of this is the development of infection in the bile ducts called cholangitis, which can be fatal if not treated promptly.
The biliary stent needs a replacement for three to six months to avoid any inflammation. Leaving a biliary stent for more than three years can result in severe repercussions. The stent that is left becomes complex with time and have the following results: It can lead to the formation of stones in the bailey ducts.
The possible causes of a blocked bile duct include:
The following are some of the most common causes of biliary obstruction:
CPT code 43276: Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP); with removal and exchange of stent(s), biliary or pancreatic duct, including pre- and post-dilation and guide wire passage, when performed, including sphincterotomy, when performed, each stent exchanged.

There is 43215 which says it includes removal of esophageal stent but is only for scoping I think the esophagus. Then there is 43247 which says it includes removal of esophageal stent but the scope has to go to the duodenum and/or jejunum.
Discussion. Complications associated with endoscopic biliary stenting include stent migration, which occurs occasionally. To remove the migrated stent, a basket catheter, snare, balloon catheter, grasping forceps, stent retriever, and other tools can be used.
Presence of coronary angioplasty implant and graft Z95. 5 is a billable/specific ICD-10-CM code that can be used to indicate a diagnosis for reimbursement purposes. The 2022 edition of ICD-10-CM Z95. 5 became effective on October 1, 2021.
ICD-10 code K83. 1 for Obstruction of bile duct is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range - Diseases of the digestive system .
There is no CPT® code for stent removal by string. The urologist should not bill separately for this procedure. This type of removal would be included in an associated E&M service.

Code 43266, EGD with placement of stent is reported without a reduced services modifier 52, even if all three components (pre-dilation, post-dilation, and guide wire passage) are not performed during the same session.
Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) with placement of a biliary stent either with or without sphincterotomy is now the initial therapy of choice for its management. A repeat ERCP at the time of biliary stent removal is commonly performed to confirm closure of the leak and to exclude other pathology.
Placement of a self-expanding metal stent (SEMS) is an effective method for palliation of a malignant biliary obstruction. However, metal stents can cause various complications, including stent migration. Distally migrated metal stents, particularly covered SEMS, can be removed successfully in most cases.
Stent occlusion — Stent occlusion is a common complication in patients with biliary stents for malignant obstruction. Stent occlusion may be caused by: ● Tumor ingrowth (or regrowth) – Stents may become occluded by the ingrowth of malignant tumor through the mesh of an uncovered SEMS.
