ICD-10-PCS DU1 Radiation Therapy: Female Reproductive System Brachytherapy

Brachytherapy (ICD-10-PCS root operation DU1) is a form of Radiation Therapy involving the internal placement of radioactive sources directly into or near the target tissue. This technique delivers high doses of radiation to female reproductive organs while minimizing exposure to surrounding structures.

The codes cover brachytherapy directed at the Ovary, Cervix, and Uterus, with distinctions between High Dose Rate (HDR) and Low Dose Rate (LDR) treatments. Specific isotopes like Cesium 137 (Cs-137), Iridium 192 (Ir-192), Iodine 125 (I-125), Palladium 103 (Pd-103), and Californium 252 (Cf-252) are identified, enabling precise coding based on the radioactive source used. Examples include DU1097Z for HDR brachytherapy of the ovary with Cesium 137 and DU119BZ for HDR brachytherapy of the cervix using Palladium 103. These detailed ICD-10-PCS brachytherapy codes assist in accurate documentation and billing for targeted radiation treatments within the female reproductive system.

List of ICD-10-PCS codes used to specify DU1 - 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 43 procedure codes in this section.
