About 3E09X28
3E09X28 is the ICD-10-PCS code for a introduction procedure on the nose using an external approach with anti-infective (qualifier: oxazolidinones). 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 oxazolidinone class of antibiotics, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (00.14).
For a different body part, codes include 3E00X28 (skin and mucous membranes), 3E0BX28 (ear), 3E0CX28 (eye) and 3E0DX28 (mouth and pharynx).
The same procedure with a different approach is coded 3E09328 (percutaneous) and 3E09728 (via natural or artificial opening).
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.
