About 3E030HZ

3E030HZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a introduction procedure on the peripheral vein using an open approach with radioactive 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 injection or infusion of other therapeutic or prophylactic substance, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (99.29).

For a different body part, codes include 3E040HZ (central vein), 3E050HZ (peripheral artery), 3E060HZ (central artery) and 3E0Q0HZ (cranial cavity and brain).

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 3E033HZ (percutaneous).

With a different device, use 3E0303Z (anti-inflammatory), 3E0304Z (serum, toxoid and vaccine), 3E0306Z (nutritional substance), 3E0307Z (electrolytic and water balance substance), 3E030FZ (intracirculatory anesthetic), 3E030KZ (other diagnostic substance) and 5 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.
