ICD-10-PCS DT1 Radiation Therapy: Urinary System Brachytherapy

The ICD-10-PCS root operation Brachytherapy (code DT1) refers to delivering targeted radiation therapy directly within or near a tumor site. This method is classified under Radiation Therapy and is used to treat various parts of the Urinary System.

Brachytherapy involves inserting radioactive sources close to or inside the affected organ to maximize radiation dose locally while limiting exposure to adjacent tissues. In the urinary system, examples include high dose rate (HDR) or low dose rate (LDR) brachytherapy applied to organs such as the Kidney, Ureter, Bladder, and Urethra. The procedure codes differentiate based on the isotope used, such as Cesium 137 (Cs-137), Iridium 192 (Ir-192), Iodine 125 (I-125), Palladium 103 (Pd-103), Californium 252 (Cf-252), or other isotopes. For instance, code DT1097Z specifies HDR brachytherapy of the kidney using Cs-137, while DT12BB1 indicates LDR brachytherapy of the bladder using unidirectional Pd-103.

Accurately coding these urinary system brachytherapy procedures reflects the precise radiation technique and isotope employed, crucial for treatment planning and reimbursement.

List of ICD-10-PCS codes used to specify DT1 - 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 57 procedure codes in this section.
