About 3E033U1

3E033U1 is the ICD-10-PCS code for a introduction procedure on the peripheral vein using a percutaneous approach with pancreatic islet cells (qualifier: nonautologous). 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 Allotransplantation of cells of Islets of Langerhans, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (52.85).

For a different body part, codes include 3E0J3U1 (biliary and pancreatic tract).

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 3E030U1 (open).

It is a non-O.R. procedure that is part of the MS-DRG logic for DRG 008 (Simultaneous Pancreas, Islet Cell and Kidney Transplant), DRG 010 (Pancreas or Islet Cell Transplant) and DRG 019 (Simultaneous Pancreas, Islet Cell and Kidney Transplant with Hemodialysis), under the surgical categories “Simultaneous Pancreas, Islet Cell and Kidney Transplant”, “Pancreas or Islet Cell Transplant” and “Simultaneous Pancreas, Islet Cell and Kidney Transplant with Hemodialysis”.

It has been valid since ICD-10-PCS took effect on October 1, 2015.
