About DW044ZZ
DW044ZZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a beam radiation procedure on the hemibody using a heavy particles (protons,ions) 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 DW014ZZ (head and neck), DW024ZZ (chest), DW034ZZ (abdomen), DW054ZZ (whole body) and DW064ZZ (pelvic region).
The same procedure with a different approach is coded DW040ZZ (photons <1 mev), DW041ZZ (photons 1 - 10 mev), DW042ZZ (photons >10 mev), DW043ZZ (electrons), DW045ZZ (neutrons) and DW046ZZ (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.
