ICD-10-PCS DG1 Radiation Therapy: Endocrine System Brachytherapy

The ICD-10-PCS root operation Brachytherapy (code starting with DG1) refers to a form of Radiation Therapy where a radioactive source is placed directly inside or next to the target tissue. This operation is specifically used within the Endocrine System to treat various glands by delivering localized radiation.

Brachytherapy in the ICD-10-PCS system covers treatments for body parts such as the Pituitary Gland, Pineal Body, Adrenal Glands, Parathyroid Glands, and Thyroid. The codes differentiate between high dose rate (HDR) and low dose rate (LDR) approaches and specify the radioactive isotopes used, including Cesium 131, Cesium 137, Iridium 192, Iodine 125, Palladium 103, Californium 252, and others. For example, code DG1097Z represents HDR brachytherapy of the Pituitary Gland using Cesium 137, while DG15B9Z describes LDR brachytherapy of the Thyroid using Iodine 125.

These detailed codes help accurately document the type, site, and radiation source for endocrine brachytherapy procedures, essential for precise clinical and billing records.

List of ICD-10-PCS codes used to specify DG1 - 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 71 procedure codes in this section.
