ICD-10-PCS DF2 Radiation Therapy: Hepatobiliary System and Pancreas Stereotactic Radiosurgery

Stereotactic Radiosurgery (root operation DF2) in ICD-10-PCS refers to highly precise radiation treatment targeting specific areas within the Hepatobiliary System and Pancreas. This specialized form of radiation therapy delivers focused beams to anatomical sites without making incisions.

Within the classification of Radiation Therapy, the procedure is coded based on the exact organ treated and the radiation type used. Examples from the provided codes include stereotactic radiosurgery of the Liver using various beam types like Other Photon (code DF20DZZ), Particulate (code DF20HZZ), or Gamma Beam radiation (code DF20JZZ). Similar distinctions apply to treatments of the Gallbladder, Bile Ducts, and Pancreas, reflecting the treatment’s precise targeting and radiation modality. Accurate use of these codes ensures proper documentation of stereotactic radiosurgery procedures delivering noninvasive yet potent cancer therapy or lesion treatment within these organs.

List of ICD-10-PCS codes used to specify DF2 - 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.
