About 3E1M48Z
3E1M48Z is the ICD-10-PCS code for a irrigation procedure on the peritoneal cavity using a percutaneous endoscopic approach with irrigating substance. In ICD-10-PCS, irrigation means putting in or on a cleansing substance.
For a different body part, codes include 3E1U48Z (joints).
The same procedure with a different approach is coded 3E1M38Z (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.
