DD002ZZ PCS Table

In an PCS table each code is represented by up seven alphanumeric characters, with each character in the table respresenting different aspects of the procedure. In the table provided below, each row represents an individual character and includes information about the character's position, designation, label, and procedure notes. For this PCS table the procedure code is in the radiation therapy section and is part of the gastrointestinal system body system, classified under beam radiation modality. The applicable treatmentsite for this procedure code is esophagus.

2 Body System D Gastrointestinal System
3 Modality 0 Beam Radiation
4 TreatmentSite 0 Esophagus  
5 ModalityQualifier 2 Photons >10 MeV
6 Isotope Z None

Explanation:
The value Z is used for the sixth character to indicate that a specific isotope does not apply to the procedure.
7 Qualifier Z None

Explanation:
The value Z is used for the seventh character to indicate that a specific qualifier does not apply to the procedure.

What is ICD-10-PCS?

The ICD-10 Procedure Coding System (ICD-10-PCS) is a catalog of procedural codes used by medical professionals for hospital inpatient healthcare settings. The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) maintain the catalog in the U.S. releasing yearly updates. The 2025 ICD-10-PCS codes are to be used for discharges occurring from October 1, 2024 through September 30, 2025.

Each ICD-10-PCS code has a structure of seven alphanumeric characters and contains no decimals. The first character defines the major "section". Depending on the "section" the second through seventh characters mean different things.
