About 3E0L7SF

3E0L7SF is the ICD-10-PCS code for a introduction procedure on the pleural cavity using a via natural or artificial opening approach with gas (qualifier: other gas). 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 3E0C7SF (eye), 3E0E7SF (products of conception), 3E0F7SF (respiratory tract), 3E0G7SF (upper GI), 3E0H7SF (lower GI), 3E0J7SF (biliary and pancreatic tract) and 8 more.

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 3E0L3SF (percutaneous).

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.
