About DFY38ZZ
DFY38ZZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a other radiation procedure on the pancreas using a hyperthermia approach with none (qualifier: none).
In plain terms, this corresponds to hyperthermia for treatment of cancer, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (99.85).
For a different body part, codes include DFY08ZZ (liver), DFY18ZZ (gallbladder) and DFY28ZZ (bile ducts).
The same procedure with a different approach is coded DFY37ZZ (contact radiation), DFY3CZZ (intraoperative radiation therapy (IORT)) and DFY3FZZ (plaque radiation).
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.
