3E0C7NZIntroduction of Analgesics, Hypnotics, Sedatives into Eye, Via Natural or Artificial Opening

3E0C7NZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a introduction procedure on the eye using a via natural or artificial opening approach with analgesics, hypnotics, sedatives. 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 tranquilizer, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (99.26).

For a different body part, codes include 3E097NZ (nose), 3E0B7NZ (ear), 3E0D7NZ (mouth and pharynx), 3E0E7NZ (products of conception), 3E0F7NZ (respiratory tract), 3E0G7NZ (upper GI) and 5 more.

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 3E0C3NZ (percutaneous) and 3E0CXNZ (external).

With a different device, use 3E0C73Z (anti-inflammatory), 3E0C7BZ (anesthetic agent), 3E0C7HZ (radioactive substance), 3E0C7KZ (other diagnostic substance), 3E0C7MZ (pigment) and 3E0C7TZ (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.
