ICD-10-PCS Code For Salivary Glands: Procedure Code Group Overview
The International Classification of Diseases, Tenth Revision, Procedure Coding System (ICD-10-PCS) code group D906 includes procedures performed to deliver beam radiation to salivary gland structures in the ear, nose, mouth and throat anatomical region. These ICD-10-PCS codes are used for inpatient documentation when therapeutic external beam radiation is administered to salivary glands for treatment of neoplastic or other disease processes. Accurate coding within the ICD-10-PCS D906 group is essential for proper inpatient reimbursement, as it captures the specific radiation therapy delivered and supports clinical documentation accuracy.

Salivary Glands Beam Radiation Procedure Overview
Procedures in this group involve delivering therapeutic beam radiation targeted to the salivary glands within the ear, nose, mouth and throat body system. Beam radiation procedures precisely direct ionizing radiation to salivary gland tissue to treat malignant or benign conditions while minimizing exposure to surrounding structures. Accurate ICD-10-PCS coding of these procedures supports correct inpatient reimbursement and ensures the clinical record reflects the specific radiation therapy delivered.
