About 3E0Y3TZ

3E0Y3TZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a introduction procedure on the pericardial cavity using a percutaneous 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 injection into thoracic cavity, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (34.92).

For a different body part, codes include 3E013TZ (subcutaneous tissue), 3E023TZ (muscle), 3E033TZ (peripheral vein), 3E043TZ (central vein), 3E053TZ (peripheral artery), 3E063TZ (central artery) and 22 more.

With a different device, use 3E0Y33Z (anti-inflammatory), 3E0Y36Z (nutritional substance), 3E0Y37Z (electrolytic and water balance substance), 3E0Y3BZ (anesthetic agent), 3E0Y3HZ (radioactive substance), 3E0Y3KZ (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.
