About 3E0G4GC

3E0G4GC is the ICD-10-PCS code for a introduction procedure on the upper GI using a percutaneous endoscopic approach with other therapeutic substance (qualifier: other substance). 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 (Laparoscopic) adjustment of size of adjustable gastric restrictive device, gastric cooling and gastric freezing, the ICD-9-CM procedure titles it maps to (44.98, 96.31 and 96.32).

For a different body part, codes include 3E074GC (coronary artery), 3E084GC (heart), 3E0E4GC (products of conception), 3E0F4GC (respiratory tract), 3E0H4GC (lower GI), 3E0J4GC (biliary and pancreatic tract) and 8 more.

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 3E0G3GC (percutaneous), 3E0G7GC (via natural or artificial opening) and 3E0G8GC (via natural or artificial opening endoscopic).

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

It was added in FY2018, effective October 1, 2017.
