About 3E060VG

3E060VG is the ICD-10-PCS code for a introduction procedure on the central artery using an open approach with hormone (qualifier: insulin). 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 insulin, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (99.17).

For a different body part, codes include 3E030VG (peripheral vein), 3E040VG (central vein) and 3E050VG (peripheral artery).

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 3E063VG (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.
