3E030PZIntroduction of Platelet Inhibitor into Peripheral Vein, Open Approach

3E030PZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a introduction procedure on the peripheral vein using an open approach with platelet inhibitor. 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 anticoagulant and injection or infusion of platelet inhibitor, the ICD-9-CM procedure titles it maps to (99.19 and 99.20).

For a different body part, codes include 3E040PZ (central vein), 3E050PZ (peripheral artery), 3E060PZ (central artery), 3E070PZ (coronary artery) and 3E080PZ (heart).

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 3E033PZ (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), 3E030HZ (radioactive 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.
