About DW050ZZ
DW050ZZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a beam radiation procedure on the whole body using a photons <1 mev approach with none (qualifier: none).
In plain terms, this corresponds to Orthovoltage radiation and teleradiotherapy using photons, the ICD-9-CM procedure titles it maps to (92.22 and 92.24).
For a different body part, codes include DW010ZZ (head and neck), DW020ZZ (chest), DW030ZZ (abdomen), DW040ZZ (hemibody) and DW060ZZ (pelvic region).
The same procedure with a different approach is coded DW051ZZ (photons 1 - 10 mev), DW052ZZ (photons >10 mev), DW053ZZ (electrons), DW054ZZ (heavy particles (protons,ions)), DW055ZZ (neutrons) and DW056ZZ (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.
