About D017BYZ
D017BYZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a brachytherapy procedure on the peripheral nerve using a low dose rate (LDR) approach with other isotope (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 D010BYZ (brain), D011BYZ (brain stem) and D016BYZ (spinal cord).
The same procedure with a different approach is coded D0179YZ (high dose rate (HDR)).
With a different device, use D017B6Z (cesium 131 (cs-131)), D017B7Z (cesium 137 (cs-137)), D017B8Z (iridium 192 (ir-192)), D017B9Z (iodine 125 (I-125)), D017BBZ (palladium 103 (pd-103)) and D017BCZ (californium 252 (cf-252)).
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.
