About D0016ZZ
D0016ZZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a beam radiation procedure on the brain stem using a neutron capture approach with none (qualifier: none).
In plain terms, this corresponds to teleradiotherapy of other particulate radiation, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (92.26).
For a different body part, codes include D0006ZZ (brain), D0066ZZ (spinal cord) and D0076ZZ (peripheral nerve).
The same procedure with a different approach is coded D0010ZZ (photons <1 mev), D0011ZZ (photons 1 - 10 mev), D0012ZZ (photons >10 mev), D0013ZZ (electrons), D0014ZZ (heavy particles (protons,ions)) and D0015ZZ (neutrons).
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.
