ICD-10-PCS Code For Eye: Procedure Code Group Overview

The International Classification of Diseases, Tenth Revision, Procedure Coding System (ICD-10-PCS) code group D810 includes procedures performed to administer brachytherapy to the eye. These ICD-10-PCS codes are used for inpatient documentation when localized radiation sources are placed or delivered to the eye to treat ocular tumors or lesions. Accurate coding within the ICD-10-PCS D810 group is essential for proper inpatient reimbursement, as it captures the specific radiation therapy procedure performed and supports clinical documentation accuracy.

Eye Brachytherapy Procedure Overview

Procedures in this group involve placement or administration of radiation sources directly to the eye to treat ocular malignancies or other localized lesions of the eye. The procedures target the eye as part of the radiation therapy section of the International Classification of Diseases, Tenth Revision, Procedure Coding System and include brachytherapy techniques specific to ocular structures. Accurate coding ensures inpatient records reflect the delivered radiation therapy and supports appropriate case mix and payment.

When to Use

Use a code from this group when inpatient care includes placement or delivery of brachytherapy specifically directed at the eye for treatment of malignancy or other localized ocular lesions. Assign codes when the medical record documents the brachytherapy procedure, including the method of source placement and the targeted ocular site.

Typical Clinical Scenarios

An adult patient with a newly diagnosed posterior uveal (choroidal) melanoma is admitted for planned definitive localized radiation therapy after ophthalmology and oncology consultation; inpatient brachytherapy is chosen to deliver focused radiation directly to the eye to preserve the globe and maximize tumor control while minimizing dose to surrounding structures. Typical codes: D81099Z, D810B9Z
An elderly patient with a recurrent ocular surface squamous neoplasm previously treated with external beam radiation presents for a scheduled implant of low-dose-rate radioactive seeds to the affected ocular region because resection is limited by prior treatments; inpatient placement of LDR sources allows targeted salvage therapy with careful monitoring for local toxicity. Typical codes: D810BBZ, D810B9Z
A patient develops acute complications after transscleral plaque placement as an outpatient (pain, suspected inadequate dosing, or plaque malposition) and is admitted for immediate removal and replacement or for conversion to a different isotope-based implant to ensure tumor coverage; an inpatient brachytherapy procedure is performed to correct delivery and control the ocular malignancy. Typical codes: D81097Z, D81098Z
