About 3E033XZ

3E033XZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a introduction procedure on the peripheral vein using a percutaneous approach with vasopressor. 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 infusion of vasopressor agent, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (00.17).

For a different body part, codes include 3E043XZ (central vein), 3E053XZ (peripheral artery) and 3E063XZ (central artery).

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 3E030XZ (open).

With a different device, use 3E0333Z (anti-inflammatory), 3E0334Z (serum, toxoid and vaccine), 3E0336Z (nutritional substance), 3E0337Z (electrolytic and water balance substance), 3E033AZ (stem cells, embryonic), 3E033FZ (intracirculatory anesthetic) 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 has been valid since ICD-10-PCS took effect on October 1, 2015.
