ICD-10-PCS Body System: ICD-10-PCS Body System DH - Skin
The ICD-10-PCS root operation Skin under the Radiation Therapy section refers to procedures that use radiation to treat conditions affecting the skin. This operation focuses on targeting skin tissues without invasive surgery, typically for therapeutic purposes like cancer treatment.
Specifically, the ICD-10-PCS Skin radiation codes include methods such as Beam Radiation (Code DH0), which involves using a machine to direct high-energy rays externally at the skin to treat malignancies or other disorders. Another category is Other Radiation (Code DHY), which captures radiation treatments that do not fit into standard beam therapy but still target the skin. These codes allow precise documentation of the radiation modality applied, assisting in accurate procedural recording within the radiation therapy domain.
