About 3E0J8U0

3E0J8U0 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 pancreatic islet cells (qualifier: autologous). 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 autotransplantation of cells of Islets of Langerhans, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (52.84).

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 3E0J3U0 (percutaneous) and 3E0J7U0 (via natural or artificial opening).

It is a non-O.R. procedure that is part of the MS-DRG logic for DRG 008 (Simultaneous Pancreas, Islet Cell and Kidney Transplant), DRG 010 (Pancreas or Islet Cell Transplant) and DRG 019 (Simultaneous Pancreas, Islet Cell and Kidney Transplant with Hemodialysis), under the surgical categories “Simultaneous Pancreas, Islet Cell and Kidney Transplant”, “Pancreas or Islet Cell Transplant” and “Simultaneous Pancreas, Islet Cell and Kidney Transplant with Hemodialysis”.

It has been valid since ICD-10-PCS took effect on October 1, 2015.
