About 3E080GC
3E080GC is the ICD-10-PCS code for a introduction procedure on the heart 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 injection of therapeutic substance into heart, injection of therapeutic substance into pericardium, hypothermia (systemic) incidental to open heart surgery and 1 more, the ICD-9-CM procedure titles it maps to (37.92, 37.93, 39.62 and 1 more).
For a different body part, codes include 3E030GC (peripheral vein), 3E040GC (central vein), 3E050GC (peripheral artery), 3E060GC (central artery), 3E070GC (coronary artery), 3E0Q0GC (cranial cavity and brain) and 2 more.
The same procedure with a different approach is coded 3E083GC (percutaneous) and 3E084GC (percutaneous endoscopic).
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.
