About 3E0G8SF

3E0G8SF is the ICD-10-PCS code for a introduction procedure on the upper GI using a via natural or artificial opening endoscopic approach with gas (qualifier: other gas). 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 3E0E8SF (products of conception), 3E0F8SF (respiratory tract), 3E0H8SF (lower GI), 3E0J8SF (biliary and pancreatic tract), 3E0K8SF (genitourinary tract), 3E0N8SF (male reproductive) and 1 more.

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 3E0G3SF (percutaneous) and 3E0G7SF (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.
