About D91699Z

D91699Z is the ICD-10-PCS code for a brachytherapy procedure on the salivary glands 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 D91099Z (ear), D91199Z (nose), D91399Z (hypopharynx), D91499Z (mouth), D91599Z (tongue), D91799Z (sinuses) and 5 more.

The same procedure with a different approach is coded D916B9Z (low dose rate (LDR)).

With a different device, use D91697Z (cesium 137 (cs-137)), D91698Z (iridium 192 (ir-192)), D9169BZ (palladium 103 (pd-103)), D9169CZ (californium 252 (cf-252)) and D9169YZ (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.
