ICD-10-PCS 2W1 Placement: Anatomical Regions Compression
The ICD-10-PCS root operation Compression (code 2W1) refers to placing physical pressure on a body part. This procedure is classified under Placement and is used to control bleeding, reduce swelling, or stabilize tissues.
Compression can be applied to various anatomical regions using different devices or dressings. For example, pressure dressings or intermittent pressure devices are commonly used for areas such as the head (2W10X6Z, 2W10X7Z), face (2W11X6Z, 2W11X7Z), neck (2W12X6Z, 2W12X7Z), and extremities including the right upper arm (2W1AX6Z, 2W1AX7Z) or the left lower leg (2W1QX6Z, 2W1QX7Z). The specificity of these codes allows healthcare providers to document the precise location and method of compression used, ensuring accurate procedural coding and medical recordkeeping.
