About 3E0J8BZ
3E0J8BZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a introduction procedure on the biliary and pancreatic tract 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 localized perfusion of liver, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (50.93).
For a different body part, codes include 3E0E8BZ (products of conception), 3E0F8BZ (respiratory tract), 3E0G8BZ (upper GI), 3E0H8BZ (lower GI), 3E0K8BZ (genitourinary tract), 3E0N8BZ (male reproductive) and 1 more.
The same procedure with a different approach is coded 3E0J3BZ (percutaneous) and 3E0J7BZ (via natural or artificial opening).
With a different device, use 3E0J83Z (anti-inflammatory), 3E0J86Z (nutritional substance), 3E0J87Z (electrolytic and water balance substance), 3E0J8HZ (radioactive substance), 3E0J8KZ (other diagnostic substance), 3E0J8NZ (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.
