3E0G8BZIntroduction of Anesthetic Agent into Upper GI, Via Natural or Artificial Opening Endoscopic

3E0G8BZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a introduction procedure on the upper GI using a via natural or artificial opening endoscopic approach with anesthetic agent. 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 3E0E8BZ (products of conception), 3E0F8BZ (respiratory tract), 3E0H8BZ (lower GI), 3E0J8BZ (biliary and pancreatic tract), 3E0K8BZ (genitourinary tract), 3E0N8BZ (male reproductive) and 1 more.

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 3E0G3BZ (percutaneous) and 3E0G7BZ (via natural or artificial opening).

With a different device, use 3E0G83Z (anti-inflammatory), 3E0G86Z (nutritional substance), 3E0G87Z (electrolytic and water balance substance), 3E0G8HZ (radioactive substance), 3E0G8KZ (other diagnostic substance), 3E0G8NZ (analgesics, hypnotics, sedatives) and 1 more.

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.
