ICD-10-PCS D81 Radiation Therapy: Eye Brachytherapy

Brachytherapy (ICD-10-PCS root operation D81) refers to the delivery of radiation therapy directly to a targeted area using internally placed radioactive sources. In the context of Radiation Therapy, this method is used specifically for treating conditions in the Eye.

This radiation therapy approach allows precise, localized treatment by placing high or low dose rate radioactive isotopes in or near the eye tissue. The provided codes distinguish between various isotopes used, such as Cesium 131, Iodine 125, Iridium 192, and Palladium 103, among others, and further specify whether the brachytherapy is high dose rate (HDR) or low dose rate (LDR). For example, code D81097Z represents HDR brachytherapy using Cesium 137, while D810B9Z indicates LDR brachytherapy using Iodine 125. This detailed coding ensures accurate documentation of the isotope type and dose rate applied in ocular brachytherapy procedures.

List of ICD-10-PCS codes used to specify D81 - Brachytherapy (a type of radiation therapy in which radioactive material sealed in needles, seeds, wires, or catheters is placed directly into or near a tumor). There are a total of 15 procedure codes in this section.
