About 3E04017

3E04017 is the ICD-10-PCS code for a introduction procedure on the central vein using an open approach with thrombolytic (qualifier: other thrombolytic). 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 thrombolytic agent, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (99.10).

For a different body part, codes include 3E03017 (peripheral vein), 3E05017 (peripheral artery), 3E06017 (central artery), 3E07017 (coronary artery) and 3E08017 (heart).

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 3E04317 (percutaneous).

It is a non-O.R. procedure that is part of the MS-DRG logic for DRG 061 (Ischemic Stroke, Precerebral Occlusion or Transient Ischemia with Thrombolytic Agent with MCC), DRG 062 (Ischemic Stroke, Precerebral Occlusion or Transient Ischemia with Thrombolytic Agent with CC), DRG 063 (Ischemic Stroke, Precerebral Occlusion or Transient Ischemia with Thrombolytic Agent without CC/MCC), DRG 124 (Other Disorders of the Eye with MCC or Thrombolytic Agent) and DRG 125 (Other Disorders of the Eye without MCC), under the surgical categories “Ischemic Stroke, Precerebral Occlusion or Transient Ischemia with Thrombolytic Agent” and “Other Disorders of the Eye”.

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