About DH021ZZ

DH021ZZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a beam radiation procedure on the skin, face using a photons 1 - 10 mev approach with none (qualifier: none).

In plain terms, this corresponds to teleradiotherapy using photons, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (92.24).

For a different body part, codes include DH031ZZ (skin, neck), DH041ZZ (skin, arm), DH061ZZ (skin, chest), DH071ZZ (skin, back), DH081ZZ (skin, abdomen), DH091ZZ (skin, buttock) and 1 more.

The same procedure with a different approach is coded DH020ZZ (photons <1 mev), DH022ZZ (photons >10 mev), DH023ZZ (electrons), DH024ZZ (heavy particles (protons,ions)), DH025ZZ (neutrons) and DH026ZZ (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.
