About 3E0C729
3E0C729 is the ICD-10-PCS code for a introduction procedure on the eye using a via natural or artificial opening approach with anti-infective (qualifier: other anti-infective). 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 Subconjunctival injection, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (10.91).
For a different body part, codes include 3E09729 (nose), 3E0B729 (ear), 3E0D729 (mouth and pharynx), 3E0E729 (products of conception), 3E0F729 (respiratory tract), 3E0G729 (upper GI) and 5 more.
The same procedure with a different approach is coded 3E0C329 (percutaneous) and 3E0CX29 (external).
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.
