ICD-10-PCS D02 Radiation Therapy: Central and Peripheral Nervous System Stereotactic Radiosurgery

Stereotactic Radiosurgery (ICD-10-PCS root operation D02) refers to delivering precise, high-dose radiation therapy to targeted areas within the nervous system. This radiation treatment is non-invasive and designed to treat specific central and peripheral nervous system structures without open surgery.

Within the Radiation Therapy classification, stereotactic radiosurgery targets body parts such as the Brain, Brain Stem, Spinal Cord, and Peripheral Nerve. Examples of codes include D020DZZ for stereotactic other photon radiosurgery of the brain, D021JZZ for stereotactic gamma beam radiosurgery of the brain stem, and D026HZZ for stereotactic particulate radiosurgery of the spinal cord. These codes specify the radiation type used—photon, particulate, or gamma beam—highlighting the detailed documentation required for accurately coding this precise neurosurgical radiation procedure.

List of ICD-10-PCS codes used to specify D02 - Stereotactic Radiosurgery (a type of external radiation therapy that uses special equipment to position the patient and precisely give a single large dose of radiation to a tumor). There are a total of 13 procedure codes in this section.
