About DG11BB1

DG11BB1 is the ICD-10-PCS code for a brachytherapy procedure on the pineal body using a low dose rate (LDR) approach with palladium 103 (pd-103) (qualifier: unidirectional source).

For a different body part, codes include DG10BB1 (pituitary gland), DG12BB1 (adrenal glands), DG14BB1 (parathyroid glands) and DG15BB1 (thyroid).

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.
