About DW1XBBZ

DW1XBBZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a brachytherapy procedure on the upper extremity using a low dose rate (LDR) approach with palladium 103 (pd-103) (qualifier: none).

For a different body part, codes include DW10BBZ (cranial cavity), DW11BBZ (head and neck), DW12BBZ (chest), DW13BBZ (abdomen), DW16BBZ (pelvic region), DW1KBBZ (upper back) and 5 more.

It doesn't appear in the MS-DRG procedure index, so on its own it doesn't change the DRG assignment.

It was added in FY2020, effective October 1, 2019.
