About 3E1M48X

3E1M48X is the ICD-10-PCS code for a irrigation procedure on the peritoneal cavity using a percutaneous endoscopic approach with irrigating substance (qualifier: diagnostic). In ICD-10-PCS, irrigation means putting in or on a cleansing substance.

For a different body part, codes include 3E1U48X (joints).

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 3E1M38X (percutaneous).

It doesn't appear in the MS-DRG procedure index, so on its own it doesn't change the DRG assignment.

It was added in FY2022, effective October 1, 2021.
