ICD-10-PCS DMY Radiation Therapy: Breast Other Radiation
The ICD-10-PCS root operation Other Radiation (code starting with DMY) refers to radiation therapy methods other than external beam radiation used to treat a body part, specifically targeting the breast in this classification.
This Radiation Therapy operation includes procedures like Contact Radiation, Hyperthermia, and Plaque Radiation of the left or right breast, reflecting various techniques to deliver therapeutic energy to breast tissue. For example, DMY07ZZ codes for contact radiation on the left breast, while DMY18ZZ represents hyperthermia treatment of the right breast. These codes specify the side of the breast treated and the radiation approach used. Accurately coding these other radiation procedures is essential to capture nuanced treatment types in breast cancer care beyond standard external radiation therapy.
