About 3E0U3SF

3E0U3SF is the ICD-10-PCS code for a introduction procedure on the joints using a percutaneous 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 of therapeutic substance into temporomandibular joint, injection of therapeutic substance into joint or ligament and injection of therapeutic substance into bursa of hand, the ICD-9-CM procedure titles it maps to (76.96, 81.92 and 82.94).

For a different body part, codes include 3E0C3SF (eye), 3E0E3SF (products of conception), 3E0F3SF (respiratory tract), 3E0G3SF (upper GI), 3E0H3SF (lower GI), 3E0J3SF (biliary and pancreatic tract) and 9 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.
