What is the correct value for a substance of a destructive agent in Table 3E0?

In ICD-10-PCS coding, Table 3E0 pertains to the coding for the use of various destructive agents and their substances. The correct value for a substance of a destructive agent is denoted by the letter "T".

This value indicates that the agent being utilized is a specific type of destructive agent rather than other types represented by different letters. A substance coded with "T" typically refers to a thermal or chemical substance used in a destructive context during a procedure. This aligns with the specific guidelines provided in the coding manual for correctly identifying the substances based on their category and use.

Understanding the classification within Table 3E0 helps in accurately capturing the nature of the procedure and the agent used in a clinical scenario, which is essential for coding claims and ensuring proper reimbursement and records. The other letters correspond to different substances or categories that do not represent the destructive agent as effectively as "T" does.
