In simple words: This code covers the cost of the Paragard IUD, a birth control device placed inside the uterus to prevent pregnancy.

This code represents the supply of an intrauterine copper contraceptive (IUD), a T-shaped device inserted into the uterus to prevent pregnancy. The copper in the device interferes with sperm reaching and fertilizing the egg.

Example 1: A 25-year-old female patient requests a long-term, reversible contraceptive method and chooses the Paragard IUD. The clinician inserts the device during an office visit., A 38-year-old female patient who has recently given birth desires a non-hormonal IUD for contraception.The clinician inserts the copper IUD., A woman experiences side effects from a hormonal IUD and requests to have it removed and replaced with a copper IUD. The physician removes the old IUD and inserts a new copper IUD during the same visit.

Documentation should include the type of IUD inserted (Paragard), the date of insertion, and any complications encountered during the procedure. Patient consent should also be documented.

** This is a generic code representing the intrauterine copper contraceptive. The brand name for this device is Paragard. Always verify coverage and coding guidelines with individual payers before billing.
