About 3E0933Z
3E0933Z is the ICD-10-PCS code for a introduction procedure on the nose using a percutaneous approach with anti-inflammatory. 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 other therapeutic or prophylactic substance, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (99.29).
For a different body part, codes include 3E0133Z (subcutaneous tissue), 3E0233Z (muscle), 3E0333Z (peripheral vein), 3E0433Z (central vein), 3E0533Z (peripheral artery), 3E0633Z (central artery) and 22 more.
The same procedure with a different approach is coded 3E0973Z (via natural or artificial opening) and 3E09X3Z (external).
With a different device, use 3E0934Z (serum, toxoid and vaccine), 3E093BZ (anesthetic agent), 3E093HZ (radioactive substance), 3E093KZ (other diagnostic substance), 3E093NZ (analgesics, hypnotics, sedatives) and 3E093TZ (destructive agent).
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.
