About D9149YZ
D9149YZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a brachytherapy procedure on the mouth using a high dose rate (HDR) 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 D9109YZ (ear), D9119YZ (nose), D9139YZ (hypopharynx), D9159YZ (tongue), D9169YZ (salivary glands), D9179YZ (sinuses) and 5 more.
The same procedure with a different approach is coded D914BYZ (low dose rate (LDR)).
With a different device, use D91497Z (cesium 137 (cs-137)), D91498Z (iridium 192 (ir-192)), D91499Z (iodine 125 (I-125)), D9149BZ (palladium 103 (pd-103)) and D9149CZ (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.
