About D7149CZ

D7149CZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a brachytherapy procedure on the lymphatics, axillary using a high dose rate (HDR) approach with californium 252 (cf-252) (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 D7109CZ (bone marrow), D7119CZ (thymus), D7129CZ (spleen), D7139CZ (lymphatics, neck), D7159CZ (lymphatics, thorax), D7169CZ (lymphatics, abdomen) and 2 more.

The same procedure with a different approach is coded D714BCZ (low dose rate (LDR)).

With a different device, use D71497Z (cesium 137 (cs-137)), D71498Z (iridium 192 (ir-192)), D71499Z (iodine 125 (I-125)), D7149BZ (palladium 103 (pd-103)) and D7149YZ (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.
