About 3E0J8KZ

3E0J8KZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a introduction procedure on the biliary and pancreatic tract using a via natural or artificial opening endoscopic approach with other diagnostic 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 localized perfusion of liver, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (50.93).

For a different body part, codes include 3E0E8KZ (products of conception), 3E0F8KZ (respiratory tract), 3E0G8KZ (upper GI), 3E0H8KZ (lower GI), 3E0K8KZ (genitourinary tract), 3E0N8KZ (male reproductive) and 1 more.

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 3E0J3KZ (percutaneous) and 3E0J7KZ (via natural or artificial opening).

With a different device, use 3E0J83Z (anti-inflammatory), 3E0J86Z (nutritional substance), 3E0J87Z (electrolytic and water balance substance), 3E0J8BZ (anesthetic agent), 3E0J8HZ (radioactive substance), 3E0J8NZ (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.
