SUBJECT: Replacement of procidentia
Q:
How do you code replacement of procidentia (manual reduction of prolapsed uterus)?
A:
Procidentia is a synonymous term for (organ) prolapse and may refer to uterine prolapse or rectal prolapse.
A vaginal pessary or pack may be inserted as a conservative, noninvasive (temporary) management for procidentia/uterine prolapse, the purpose of which is to support the uterus and prevent further/repeat prolapse. The procidentia (prolapsed uterus) must be reduced prior to insertion of the vaginal pessary or packing.
ACHI does not include a specific code for replacement of procidentia/manual reduction of a prolapsed uterus. Clinical advice confirms that replacement of procidentia/manual reduction of a prolapsed uterus is inherent in the insertion of a vaginal pessary or packing. Therefore, assign one of the following codes:
92104-00 [1900] Vaginal packing
or
92107-00 [1900] Insertion of other vaginal pessary
Amendments to ACHI will be considered for a future edition.
