About 2Y45X5Z

2Y45X5Z is the ICD-10-PCS code for a packing procedure on the urethra 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 other immobilization, pressure, and attention to wound, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (93.59).

For a different body part, codes include 2Y40X5Z (mouth and pharynx), 2Y41X5Z (nasal), 2Y42X5Z (ear), 2Y43X5Z (anorectal) and 2Y44X5Z (female genital tract).

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.
