What is obstructive uropathy? Obstructive uropathy is when your urine can't flow (either partially or completely) through your ureter, bladder, or urethra due to some type of obstruction. Instead of flowing from your kidneys to your bladder, urine flows backward, or refluxes, into your kidneys.
Urinary tract obstruction is a blockage that inhibits the flow of urine through its normal path (the urinary tract), including the kidneys, ureters, bladder, and urethra. Blockage can be complete or partial.
A Foley catheter is a common type of indwelling catheter. It has soft, plastic or rubber tube that is inserted into the bladder to drain the urine. In most cases, your provider will use the smallest catheter that is appropriate.
Chronic indwelling catheters are used to manage urinary retention, especially in the presence of urethral obstruction, and to facilitate healing of incontinence-related skin breakdown. These indwelling foreign bodies become coated and sometimes obstructed by biofilm laden with bacteria and struvite crystals.
According to AccessData.FDA.gov, the FDA does not classify “Catheter, Percutaneous, Cardiac Ablation, For Treatment Of Atrial Flutter” as “implants.” The best practice recommendation is to assign UB-04 revenue code 272 (sterile supply) to these devices.
These catheter infections, which code to 996.64, are potential quality issues. Coders must not assume that every documentation of “urinary tract infection due to catheter” automatically assigns to code 996.64. A catheter described as a Foley does not necessarily correlate to indwelling status.
Indwelling urinary catheters An indwelling urinary catheter is inserted in the same way as an intermittent catheter, but the catheter is left in place. The catheter is held in the bladder by a water-filled balloon, which prevents it falling out. These types of catheters are often known as Foley catheters.

Use secondary code (s) from Chapter 20, External causes of morbidity, to indicate cause of injury. Codes within the T section that include the external cause do not require an additional external cause code. Type 1 Excludes.
