ICD-10-PCS DB1 Radiation Therapy: Respiratory System Brachytherapy

Brachytherapy is a specialized form of radiation therapy involving the direct placement of radioactive material into or near tumors within the body. The ICD-10-PCS root operation DB1 – Brachytherapy applies to administering targeted radiation treatment specifically to the Respiratory System.

This root operation encompasses a range of procedures delivering either High Dose Rate (HDR) or Low Dose Rate (LDR) radiation directly to sites such as the Trachea, Bronchus, Lung, Pleura, Mediastinum, Chest Wall, and Diaphragm. The coding system specifies the type of radioactive isotope used, including Cesium 131, Cesium 137, Iridium 192, Iodine 125, Palladium 103, Californium 252, and others. For example, code DB1097Z represents HDR brachytherapy of the trachea using Cesium 137, whereas DB12B9Z denotes LDR brachytherapy of the lung using Iodine 125.
These ICD-10-PCS brachytherapy codes allow for precise documentation of treatment approach, target body part, and radioactive source, critical for treatment planning, billing, and clinical reporting within respiratory radiation therapy.

List of ICD-10-PCS codes used to specify DB1 - 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 99 procedure codes in this section.
