About 3E040GC

3E040GC is the ICD-10-PCS code for a introduction procedure on the central vein using an open approach with other therapeutic substance (qualifier: other substance). 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 transfusion of blood expander, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (99.08).

For a different body part, codes include 3E030GC (peripheral vein), 3E050GC (peripheral artery), 3E060GC (central artery), 3E070GC (coronary artery), 3E080GC (heart), 3E0Q0GC (cranial cavity and brain) and 2 more.

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 3E043GC (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.
