Billable / specific codeICD-10-PCS

CMS abbreviated title: Beam Radiation of Sternum using Heavy Particles

How DP044ZZ 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. PBody systemWhich system it acts on
  3. 0Root operationThe objective — the verb of the procedure
  4. 4Body partThe specific site
  5. 4ApproachHow the site was reached
  6. ZDeviceWhat was left in place, if anything
  7. ZQualifierA further distinction where one applies

Codes near DP044ZZ

In CMS’s own ordering, which groups codes that differ by only the last character or two — usually the approach, device or qualifier.
