ICD-10-PCS CW7 Nuclear Medicine: Anatomical Regions Systemic Nuclear Medicine Therapy

The ICD-10-PCS root operation Systemic Nuclear Medicine Therapy (code CW7) involves administering a radionuclide for therapeutic effect throughout one or more anatomical regions. This procedure is classified under Nuclear Medicine and targets systemic treatment rather than localized delivery.

Systemic Nuclear Medicine Therapy is used to treat diseases by delivering radioactive substances that affect the entire body or specific large regions like the Abdomen, Chest, or Thyroid. Specific codes reflect the anatomical focus and type of radionuclide utilized—for instance, the use of Phosphorus 32 (P-32) for therapy of the Abdomen (code CW70NZZ) or Iodine 131 (I-131) for the Thyroid (code CW7GGZZ). Other radionuclides like Samarium 153 and Strontium 89 are used in Whole Body treatments (e.g., CW7N8ZZ, CW7NPZZ). Accurately selecting these codes is essential to document the systemic nature and precise radionuclide therapy provided during treatment.

List of ICD-10-PCS codes used to specify CW7 - Systemic Nuclear Medicine Therapy (introduction of unsealed radioactive materials into the body for treatment). There are a total of 13 procedure codes in this section.
