About the D91 Code Range

Brachytherapy in ICD-10-PCS refers to the targeted delivery of radiation therapy by placing radioactive sources directly inside or near the affected tissue. It is classified under the Radiation Therapy section and is coded as D91 and related variations.

This root operation specifically treats conditions in the Ear, Nose, Mouth, and Throat areas using different isotopes and dose rates. The provided codes show detailed distinctions based on the anatomical site (e.g., Ear, Nose, Hypopharynx, Mouth, Tongue, Larynx), the isotope used (such as Cesium 137, Iridium 192, Iodine 125, Palladium 103, and others), and whether therapy is delivered at a High Dose Rate (HDR) or Low Dose Rate (LDR). For example, code D91097Z represents HDR brachytherapy of the ear using Cesium 137, while D911B7Z indicates LDR brachytherapy of the nose using Cesium 137. These distinctions allow precise documentation of the brachytherapy procedure, ensuring accuracy in treatment reporting and coding.

Questions About This Page

How many billable codes are in the D91 range?

Of the 169 codes in this range, 168 are billable and valid for inpatient claim submission from October 1, 2025 through September 30, 2026. Table header codes group them but cannot be reported on claims.

What does the D91 range classify?

The range classifies Brachytherapy procedures, a type of radiation therapy in which radioactive material sealed in needles, seeds, wires, or catheters is placed directly into or near a tumor, performed on the ear, nose, mouth and throat. Each code adds the body part, approach, device, and qualifier in characters four through seven, and links to its own reference page.
