About D0010ZZ

D0010ZZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a beam radiation procedure on the brain stem using a photons <1 mev approach with none (qualifier: none).

In plain terms, this corresponds to Orthovoltage radiation and teleradiotherapy using photons, the ICD-9-CM procedure titles it maps to (92.22 and 92.24).

For a different body part, codes include D0000ZZ (brain), D0060ZZ (spinal cord) and D0070ZZ (peripheral nerve).

The same procedure with a different approach is coded D0011ZZ (photons 1 - 10 mev), D0012ZZ (photons >10 mev), D0013ZZ (electrons), D0014ZZ (heavy particles (protons,ions)), D0015ZZ (neutrons) and D0016ZZ (neutron capture).

It doesn't appear in the MS-DRG procedure index, so on its own it doesn't change the DRG assignment.

It has been valid since ICD-10-PCS took effect on October 1, 2015.
