ICD-10-PCS Body System: ICD-10-PCS Body System 3E - Physiological Systems and Anatomical Regions

The ICD-10-PCS root operation in the Administration classification within the Physiological Systems and Anatomical Regions section involves procedures that introduce substances into or onto the body for therapeutic or diagnostic purposes. Two main operations are distinguished: Introduction and Irrigation.

Introduction refers to putting in or on substances such as therapeutic, diagnostic, nutritional, physiological, or prophylactic agents, excluding blood and blood products. This operation encompasses a broad range of treatments where substances are delivered to support or alter physiological functions. In contrast, Irrigation pertains specifically to putting in or on a cleansing substance intended to wash out or clean a body area or system.

Examples include codes like 3E0 for Introduction of these substances and 3E1 for Irrigation using cleansing agents. Understanding and applying these codes accurately is crucial for documenting the administration of various substances within physiological or anatomical contexts.
