About D01699Z
D01699Z is the ICD-10-PCS code for a brachytherapy procedure on the spinal cord using a high dose rate (HDR) approach with iodine 125 (I-125) (qualifier: none).
In plain terms, this corresponds to Radioisotopic teleradiotherapy, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (92.23).
For a different body part, codes include D01099Z (brain), D01199Z (brain stem) and D01799Z (peripheral nerve).
The same procedure with a different approach is coded D016B9Z (low dose rate (LDR)).
With a different device, use D01697Z (cesium 137 (cs-137)), D01698Z (iridium 192 (ir-192)), D0169BZ (palladium 103 (pd-103)), D0169CZ (californium 252 (cf-252)) and D0169YZ (other isotope).
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.
