About DF13BB1

DF13BB1 is the ICD-10-PCS code for a brachytherapy procedure on the pancreas using a low dose rate (LDR) approach with palladium 103 (pd-103) (qualifier: unidirectional source).

For a different body part, codes include DF10BB1 (liver), DF11BB1 (gallbladder) and DF12BB1 (bile ducts).

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 FY2020, effective October 1, 2019.
