ICD-10-PCS DM1 Radiation Therapy: Breast Brachytherapy

The ICD-10-PCS root operation Brachytherapy (DM1) refers to a form of radiation therapy where a radioactive source is placed directly inside or next to the treatment area. This targeted approach is commonly used in the Radiation Therapy classification to treat cancers such as those of the breast.

Brachytherapy codes in ICD-10-PCS specify the body part—in these examples, the left or right breast—along with the dosing type like High Dose Rate (HDR) or Low Dose Rate (LDR), and the particular radioactive isotope used. For instance, DM1097Z describes HDR brachytherapy of the left breast using Cesium 137 (Cs-137), while DM11B9Z indicates LDR brachytherapy of the right breast using Iodine 125 (I-125). These distinctions are essential for accurate coding to reflect the radiation dose and isotope applied during breast cancer treatment.

List of ICD-10-PCS codes used to specify DM1 - 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 29 procedure codes in this section.
