About D91B9BZ

D91B9BZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a brachytherapy procedure on the larynx using a high dose rate (HDR) approach with palladium 103 (pd-103) (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 D9109BZ (ear), D9119BZ (nose), D9139BZ (hypopharynx), D9149BZ (mouth), D9159BZ (tongue), D9169BZ (salivary glands) and 5 more.

The same procedure with a different approach is coded D91BBBZ (low dose rate (LDR)).

With a different device, use D91B97Z (cesium 137 (cs-137)), D91B98Z (iridium 192 (ir-192)), D91B99Z (iodine 125 (I-125)), D91B9CZ (californium 252 (cf-252)) and D91B9YZ (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.
