ICD-10-PCS 2Y4 Placement: Anatomical Orifices Packing

The ICD-10-PCS root operation Packing (Code 2Y4) involves placing material into an anatomical orifice to control bleeding or provide support. This operation falls under the classification of Placement.

Packing is used in various body regions to manage hemorrhage or support healing. For example, the codes include packing the Mouth and Pharynx (2Y40X5Z), Nasal Region (2Y41X5Z), and Ear (2Y42X5Z), among others. Additional specific codes describe packing the Anorectal Region (2Y43X5Z), Female Genital Tract (2Y44X5Z), and Urethra (2Y45X5Z). Each of these procedures uses suitable packing material to address bleeding or support anatomical structures. Accurately coding these Packing placement procedures is important for reflecting intervention aimed at hemostasis or anatomical support within the targeted orifice.
