About the DU1 Code Range
Brachytherapy (ICD-10-PCS root operation DU1) is a form of Radiation Therapy involving the internal placement of radioactive sources directly into or near the target tissue. This technique delivers high doses of radiation to female reproductive organs while minimizing exposure to surrounding structures.
The codes cover brachytherapy directed at the Ovary, Cervix, and Uterus, with distinctions between High Dose Rate (HDR) and Low Dose Rate (LDR) treatments. Specific isotopes like Cesium 137 (Cs-137), Iridium 192 (Ir-192), Iodine 125 (I-125), Palladium 103 (Pd-103), and Californium 252 (Cf-252) are identified, enabling precise coding based on the radioactive source used. Examples include DU1097Z for HDR brachytherapy of the ovary with Cesium 137 and DU119BZ for HDR brachytherapy of the cervix using Palladium 103. These detailed ICD-10-PCS brachytherapy codes assist in accurate documentation and billing for targeted radiation treatments within the female reproductive system.
Questions About This Page
How many billable codes are in the DU1 range?
Of the 43 codes in this range, 42 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 DU1 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 female reproductive system. Each code adds the body part, approach, device, and qualifier in characters four through seven, and links to its own reference page.
