About 3E043AZ
3E043AZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a introduction procedure on the central vein using a percutaneous approach with stem cells, embryonic. In ICD-10-PCS, introduction means putting in or on a therapeutic, diagnostic, nutritional, physiological, or prophylactic substance except blood or blood products.
For a different body part, codes include 3E033AZ (peripheral vein), 3E0Q3AZ (cranial cavity and brain) and 3E0R3AZ (spinal canal).
With a different device, use 3E0433Z (anti-inflammatory), 3E0434Z (serum, toxoid and vaccine), 3E0436Z (nutritional substance), 3E0437Z (electrolytic and water balance substance), 3E043FZ (intracirculatory anesthetic), 3E043HZ (radioactive substance) 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 was added in FY2027, effective October 1, 2026.
