About DB053ZZ

DB053ZZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a beam radiation procedure on the pleura using an electrons approach with none (qualifier: none).

In plain terms, this corresponds to teleradiotherapy using electrons, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (92.25).

For a different body part, codes include DB003ZZ (trachea), DB013ZZ (bronchus), DB023ZZ (lung), DB063ZZ (mediastinum), DB073ZZ (chest wall) and DB083ZZ (diaphragm).

The same procedure with a different approach is coded DB050ZZ (photons <1 mev), DB051ZZ (photons 1 - 10 mev), DB052ZZ (photons >10 mev), DB054ZZ (heavy particles (protons,ions)), DB055ZZ (neutrons) and DB056ZZ (neutron capture).

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.
