About DW026ZZ
DW026ZZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a beam radiation procedure on the chest using a neutron capture approach with none (qualifier: none).
In plain terms, this corresponds to teleradiotherapy of other particulate radiation, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (92.26).
For a different body part, codes include DW016ZZ (head and neck), DW036ZZ (abdomen), DW046ZZ (hemibody), DW056ZZ (whole body) and DW066ZZ (pelvic region).
The same procedure with a different approach is coded DW020ZZ (photons <1 mev), DW021ZZ (photons 1 - 10 mev), DW022ZZ (photons >10 mev), DW023ZZ (electrons), DW024ZZ (heavy particles (protons,ions)) and DW025ZZ (neutrons).
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.
