3E0637ZIntroduction of Electrolytic and Water Balance Substance into Central Artery, Percutaneous Approach

3E0637Z is the ICD-10-PCS code for a introduction procedure on the central artery using a percutaneous approach with electrolytic and water balance 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 injection or infusion of electrolytes, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (99.18).

For a different body part, codes include 3E0137Z (subcutaneous tissue), 3E0237Z (muscle), 3E0337Z (peripheral vein), 3E0437Z (central vein), 3E0537Z (peripheral artery), 3E0D37Z (mouth and pharynx) and 17 more.

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 3E0607Z (open).

With a different device, use 3E0633Z (anti-inflammatory), 3E0634Z (serum, toxoid and vaccine), 3E0636Z (nutritional substance), 3E063FZ (intracirculatory anesthetic), 3E063HZ (radioactive substance), 3E063KZ (other diagnostic substance) and 5 more.

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.
