ICD-10-PCS 2Y0 Placement: Anatomical Orifices Change
The Change root operation in ICD-10-PCS, represented by code 2Y0, refers to the replacement of a device or material already in place within an anatomical orifice. It is classified under Placement, emphasizing the act of substituting a previously positioned item rather than initial placement.
This operation specifically applies to switching out packing materials located in various body parts, such as the Mouth and Pharynx (2Y00X5Z), Nasal passages (2Y01X5Z), Ear (2Y02X5Z), and Anorectal area (2Y03X5Z). It also includes changing packing in the Female Genital Tract (2Y04X5Z) and Urethra (2Y05X5Z). The use of specific ICD-10-PCS codes for changing anatomical orifice packing material ensures precise documentation of this procedural maintenance, distinct from initial placement or removal procedures. This is critical for billing, clinical communication, and patient care tracking.
