About 3E0CX04

3E0CX04 is the ICD-10-PCS code for a introduction procedure on the eye using an external approach with antineoplastic (qualifier: liquid brachytherapy radioisotope). 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 infusion of liquid brachytherapy radioisotope, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (92.20).

For a different body part, codes include 3E0BX04 (ear) and 3E0DX04 (mouth and pharynx).

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 3E0C304 (percutaneous) and 3E0C704 (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.
