3E04029Introduction of Other Anti-infective into Central Vein, Open Approach

3E04029 is the ICD-10-PCS code for a introduction procedure on the central vein using an open approach with anti-infective (qualifier: other anti-infective). 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 antibiotic, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (99.21).

For a different body part, codes include 3E03029 (peripheral vein), 3E05029 (peripheral artery), 3E06029 (central artery), 3E0Q029 (cranial cavity and brain) and 3E0U029 (joints).

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 3E04329 (percutaneous).

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.
