About 3E033AZ
3E033AZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a introduction procedure on the peripheral vein using a percutaneous approach with stem cells, embryonic. In ICD-10-PCS, introduction means putting in or on a therapeutic, diagnostic, nutritional, physiological, or prophylactic substance except blood or blood products.
For a different body part, codes include 3E043AZ (central vein), 3E0Q3AZ (cranial cavity and brain) and 3E0R3AZ (spinal canal).
With a different device, use 3E0333Z (anti-inflammatory), 3E0334Z (serum, toxoid and vaccine), 3E0336Z (nutritional substance), 3E0337Z (electrolytic and water balance substance), 3E033FZ (intracirculatory anesthetic), 3E033HZ (radioactive substance) and 6 more.
It doesn't appear in the MS-DRG procedure index, so on its own it doesn't change the DRG assignment.
It was added in FY2027, effective October 1, 2026.
