About 3E0J3NZ

3E0J3NZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a introduction procedure on the biliary and pancreatic tract using a percutaneous approach with analgesics, hypnotics, sedatives. 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 of tranquilizer, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (99.26).

For a different body part, codes include 3E013NZ (subcutaneous tissue), 3E023NZ (muscle), 3E033NZ (peripheral vein), 3E043NZ (central vein), 3E053NZ (peripheral artery), 3E063NZ (central artery) and 20 more.

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 3E0J7NZ (via natural or artificial opening) and 3E0J8NZ (via natural or artificial opening endoscopic).

With a different device, use 3E0J33Z (anti-inflammatory), 3E0J36Z (nutritional substance), 3E0J37Z (electrolytic and water balance substance), 3E0J3BZ (anesthetic agent), 3E0J3HZ (radioactive substance), 3E0J3KZ (other diagnostic substance) 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.
