3E0973ZIntroduction of Anti-inflammatory into Nose, Via Natural or Artificial Opening

3E0973Z is the ICD-10-PCS code for a introduction procedure on the nose using a via natural or artificial opening 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 3E0B73Z (ear), 3E0C73Z (eye), 3E0D73Z (mouth and pharynx), 3E0E73Z (products of conception), 3E0F73Z (respiratory tract), 3E0G73Z (upper GI) and 5 more.

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 3E0933Z (percutaneous) and 3E09X3Z (external).

With a different device, use 3E0974Z (serum, toxoid and vaccine), 3E097BZ (anesthetic agent), 3E097HZ (radioactive substance), 3E097KZ (other diagnostic substance), 3E097NZ (analgesics, hypnotics, sedatives) and 3E097TZ (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.
