About 3E0S3GC

3E0S3GC is the ICD-10-PCS code for a introduction procedure on the epidural space using a percutaneous approach with other therapeutic substance (qualifier: other substance). 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 of other agent into spinal canal and spinal blood patch, the ICD-9-CM procedure titles it maps to (03.92 and 03.95).

For a different body part, codes include 3E013GC (subcutaneous tissue), 3E023GC (muscle), 3E033GC (peripheral vein), 3E043GC (central vein), 3E053GC (peripheral artery), 3E063GC (central artery) and 25 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.
