3E0G8TZIntroduction of Destructive Agent into Upper GI, Via Natural or Artificial Opening Endoscopic

3E0G8TZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a introduction procedure on the upper GI using a via natural or artificial opening endoscopic approach with destructive 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 endoscopic excision or destruction of lesion or tissue of esophagus and injection or infusion of other therapeutic or prophylactic substance, the ICD-9-CM procedure titles it maps to (42.33 and 99.29).

For a different body part, codes include 3E0E8TZ (products of conception), 3E0F8TZ (respiratory tract), 3E0H8TZ (lower GI), 3E0J8TZ (biliary and pancreatic tract), 3E0K8TZ (genitourinary tract), 3E0N8TZ (male reproductive) and 1 more.

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 3E0G3TZ (percutaneous) and 3E0G7TZ (via natural or artificial opening).

With a different device, use 3E0G83Z (anti-inflammatory), 3E0G86Z (nutritional substance), 3E0G87Z (electrolytic and water balance substance), 3E0G8BZ (anesthetic agent), 3E0G8HZ (radioactive substance), 3E0G8KZ (other diagnostic substance) 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.
