About 3E0R0E0

3E0R0E0 is the ICD-10-PCS code for a introduction procedure on the spinal canal using an open approach with stem cells, somatic (qualifier: autologous). 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 other agent into spinal canal, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (03.92).

For a different body part, codes include 3E0Q0E0 (cranial cavity and brain).

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 3E0R3E0 (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.
