3E0F8BZIntroduction of Anesthetic Agent into Respiratory Tract, Via Natural or Artificial Opening Endoscopic

3E0F8BZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a introduction procedure on the respiratory tract using a via natural or artificial opening endoscopic approach with anesthetic agent. In ICD-10-PCS, introduction means putting in or on a therapeutic, diagnostic, nutritional, physiological, or prophylactic substance except blood or blood products.

In plain terms, this corresponds to injection into thoracic cavity, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (34.92).

For a different body part, codes include 3E0E8BZ (products of conception), 3E0G8BZ (upper GI), 3E0H8BZ (lower GI), 3E0J8BZ (biliary and pancreatic tract), 3E0K8BZ (genitourinary tract), 3E0N8BZ (male reproductive) and 1 more.

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 3E0F3BZ (percutaneous) and 3E0F7BZ (via natural or artificial opening).

With a different device, use 3E0F83Z (anti-inflammatory), 3E0F86Z (nutritional substance), 3E0F87Z (electrolytic and water balance substance), 3E0F8HZ (radioactive substance), 3E0F8KZ (other diagnostic substance), 3E0F8NZ (analgesics, hypnotics, sedatives) and 1 more.

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.
