About DU1298Z
DU1298Z is the ICD-10-PCS code for a brachytherapy procedure on the uterus using a high dose rate (HDR) approach with iridium 192 (ir-192) (qualifier: none).
In plain terms, this corresponds to Radioisotopic teleradiotherapy, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (92.23).
For a different body part, codes include DU1098Z (ovary) and DU1198Z (cervix).
The same procedure with a different approach is coded DU12B8Z (low dose rate (LDR)).
With a different device, use DU1297Z (cesium 137 (cs-137)), DU1299Z (iodine 125 (I-125)), DU129BZ (palladium 103 (pd-103)), DU129CZ (californium 252 (cf-252)) and DU129YZ (other isotope).
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.
