About D71898Z
D71898Z is the ICD-10-PCS code for a brachytherapy procedure on the lymphatics, inguinal using a high dose rate (HDR) approach with iridium 192 (ir-192) (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 D71098Z (bone marrow), D71198Z (thymus), D71298Z (spleen), D71398Z (lymphatics, neck), D71498Z (lymphatics, axillary), D71598Z (lymphatics, thorax) and 2 more.
The same procedure with a different approach is coded D718B8Z (low dose rate (LDR)).
With a different device, use D71897Z (cesium 137 (cs-137)), D71899Z (iodine 125 (I-125)), D7189BZ (palladium 103 (pd-103)), D7189CZ (californium 252 (cf-252)) and D7189YZ (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.
