About 2Y41X5Z

2Y41X5Z is the ICD-10-PCS code for a packing procedure on the nasal using an external approach with packing material. In ICD-10-PCS, packing means putting material in a body region or orifice.

In plain terms, this corresponds to control of epistaxis, not otherwise specified, control of epistaxis by anterior nasal packing and control of epistaxis by posterior (and anterior) packing, the ICD-9-CM procedure titles it maps to (21.00, 21.01 and 21.02).

For a different body part, codes include 2Y40X5Z (mouth and pharynx), 2Y42X5Z (ear), 2Y43X5Z (anorectal), 2Y44X5Z (female genital tract) and 2Y45X5Z (urethra).

It doesn't appear in the MS-DRG procedure index, so on its own it doesn't change the DRG assignment.

It has been valid since ICD-10-PCS took effect on October 1, 2015.
