About DF10B6Z

DF10B6Z is the ICD-10-PCS code for a brachytherapy procedure on the liver using a low dose rate (LDR) approach with cesium 131 (cs-131) (qualifier: none).

For a different body part, codes include DF11B6Z (gallbladder), DF12B6Z (bile ducts) and DF13B6Z (pancreas).

With a different device, use DF10B7Z (cesium 137 (cs-137)), DF10B8Z (iridium 192 (ir-192)), DF10B9Z (iodine 125 (I-125)), DF10BBZ (palladium 103 (pd-103)), DF10BCZ (californium 252 (cf-252)) and DF10BYZ (other isotope).

It doesn't appear in the MS-DRG procedure index, so on its own it doesn't change the DRG assignment.

It was added in FY2021, effective October 1, 2020.
