CMS abbreviated title: Beam Radiation of Thyroid using Neutron Capture

How DG056ZZ is built

Every ICD-10-PCS code is seven independent character positions. Each one is a separate decision, and the meaning of a character depends on the positions before it.

  1. DSectionRadiation Therapy — What family of procedure this is
  2. GBody systemWhich system it acts on
  3. 0Root operationThe objective — the verb of the procedure
  4. 5Body partThe specific site
  5. 6ApproachHow the site was reached
  6. ZDeviceWhat was left in place, if anything
  7. ZQualifierA further distinction where one applies
