List of ICD-10-PCS codes used to specify D00 - Beam Radiation (a type of radiation therapy that uses a machine to aim high-energy rays at the cancer from outside of the body). There are a total of 33 procedure codes in this section.
• When the admission is for treating anemia or dehydration due to radiotherapy, the anemia or dehydration will be sequenced as the principal diagnosis. • When the admission is to determine the extent of the malignancy (staging), the malignancy will be sequenced as the principal diagnosis even if radiotherapy is administered.
The guidelines are based on the coding and sequencing instructions from the Tabular List and the Alphabetic Index in ICD-10-CM. These guidelines are for medical coders who are assigning diagnosis codes in a hospital, outpatient setting, doctor’s office or some other patient setting.
This therapy is usually given in the outpatient setting. A form of external radiation that is given during surgery is called intraoperative electron radiation therapy (92.41). Energy sources for external radiation therapy include x-rays, gamma rays, particle beams, and proton beam therapy.

Radiation sickness, unspecified, initial encounter T66. XXXA is a billable/specific ICD-10-CM code that can be used to indicate a diagnosis for reimbursement purposes. The 2022 edition of ICD-10-CM T66. XXXA became effective on October 1, 2021.
11 or Z51. 12 is the only diagnosis on the line, then the procedure or service will be denied because this diagnosis should be assigned as a secondary diagnosis. When the Primary, First-Listed, Principal or Only diagnosis code is a Sequela diagnosis code, then the claim line will be denied.

ICD-10 code T45. 1X5A for Adverse effect of antineoplastic and immunosuppressive drugs, initial encounter is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range - Injury, poisoning and certain other consequences of external causes .
1) Antineoplastic drugs are one of three potential modalities in the treatment of cancer. The other two are surgery and radiation therapy. Antineoplastics can be used as primary treatment in tumors not amenable to surgery or radiation such as leukemia or in widespread metastatic disease.
8: Other specified disorders of skin and subcutaneous tissue related to radiation.
These guidelines, developed by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services ( CMS) and the National Center for Health Statistics ( NCHS) are a set of rules developed to assist medical coders in assigning the appropriate codes. The guidelines are based on the coding and sequencing instructions from the Tabular List and the Alphabetic Index in ICD-10-CM.
When a primary malignancy has been previously excised or eradicated from its site and there is no further treatment directed to that site and there is no evidence of any existing primary malignancy at that site, a code from category Z85, Personal history of malignant neoplasm, should be used to indicate the former site of the malignancy. Any mention of extension, invasion, or metastasis to another site is coded as a secondary malignant neoplasm to that site. The secondary site may be the principal or first-listed with the Z85 code used as a secondary code.
A primary malignant neoplasm that overlaps two or more contiguous (next to each other) sites should be classified to the subcategory/code .8 ('overlapping lesion '), unless the combination is specifically indexed elsewhere. For multiple neoplasms of the same site that are not contiguous such as tumors in different quadrants of the same breast, codes for each site should be assigned.
Chapter 2 of the ICD-10-CM contains the codes for most benign and all malignant neoplasms. Certain benign neoplasms , such as prostatic adenomas, may be found in the specific body system chapters. To properly code a neoplasm, it is necessary to determine from the record if the neoplasm is benign, in-situ, malignant, or of uncertain histologic behavior. If malignant, any secondary ( metastatic) sites should also be determined.
Code C80.0, Disseminated malignant neoplasm, unspecified, is for use only in those cases where the patient has advanced metastatic disease and no known primary or secondary sites are specified. It should not be used in place of assigning codes for the primary site and all known secondary sites.
When a pregnant woman has a malignant neoplasm, a code from subcategory O9A.1 -, malignant neoplasm complicating pregnancy, childbirth, and the puerperium, should be sequenced first, followed by the appropriate code from Chapter 2 to indicate the type of neoplasm. Encounter for complication associated with a neoplasm.
There are also codes Z85.6, Personal history of leukemia, and Z85.79, Personal history of other malignant neoplasms of lymphoid, hematopoietic and related tissues. If the documentation is unclear as to whether the leukemia has achieved remission, the provider should be queried.
Stereotactic radiosurgery is classified to code 92.3, with a fourth-digit subcategory necessary to identify the specific type.
Radiation therapy (ICD-9-CM code 92.29) is a type of cancer treatment that uses high-energy x-ray beams to destroy cancer cells. Also called radiotherapy or x-ray therapy, radiation therapy uses ionizing radiation to destroy the genetic material in a cell, stopping it from growing and dividing.
Stereotactic radiosurgery (gamma knife radiosurgery) is a nonoperating room procedure using a large radiation dose to destroy tumor cells in the brain. In this procedure, a stereotactic head frame is placed on the patient, who then undergoes a CT or MRI exam to target and define the areas for irradiation.
Energy sources for external radiation therapy include x-rays, gamma rays, particle beams, and proton beam therapy . Internal radiation therapy (92.27) involves an implant, such as a thin wire, catheter, ribbon, capsule, or seed, to place the radiation close to the malignancy.
Energy sources for internal radiation include iodine 125 and 131, strontium 89, phosphorus, palladium, cesium, iridium, phosphate, and cobalt.

If a patient receives more than one therapy (radiotherapy, chemotherapy, or immunotherapy) during the same admission, more than one of these codes may be assigned in any sequence. However, radiotherapy does not meet admission criteria for some quality improvement organizations.

This article gives guidance for billing, coding, and other guidelines in relation to local coverage policy L36658-Proton Beam Therapy. Documentation Requirements All documentation must be maintained in the patient’s medical record and available to the contractor upon request. Every page of the record must be legible and include appropriate patient identification information (e.g., complete name, dates of service (s)).
Note: Diagnosis codes must be coded to the highest level of specificity.
Contractors may specify Bill Types to help providers identify those Bill Types typically used to report this service. Absence of a Bill Type does not guarantee that the article does not apply to that Bill Type.
Contractors may specify Revenue Codes to help providers identify those Revenue Codes typically used to report this service. In most instances Revenue Codes are purely advisory. Unless specified in the article, services reported under other Revenue Codes are equally subject to this coverage determination.
