The CMS General Equivalence Mappings translate it to 17 ICD-10-PCS codes, such as 3E0133Z (Introduction of Anti-inflammatory into Subcutaneous Tissue, Percutaneous Approach), 3E0136Z (Introduction of Nutritional Substance into Subcutaneous Tissue, Percutaneous Approach) and 3E0137Z (Introduction of Electrolytic and Water Balance Substance into Subcutaneous Tissue, Percutaneous Approach). All of these are approximate matches, so review the record to pick the right one.
