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

The International Classification of Diseases, Tenth Revision, Procedure Coding System (ICD-10-PCS) code group DD03 includes procedures performed to apply beam radiation to structures in the jejunum. These ICD-10-PCS codes are used for inpatient documentation when patients receive therapeutic external beam radiation directed at the jejunum for cancer or other pathologic conditions requiring radiation. Accurate coding within the ICD-10-PCS DD03 group is essential for proper inpatient reimbursement, as it captures the radiation therapy performed and supports clinical documentation accuracy.

Jejunum Beam Radiation Procedure Overview

This procedure group includes beam radiation treatments directed at the jejunum within the gastrointestinal system. These procedures deliver targeted radiation to treat malignant or other pathologic conditions of the jejunum and require precise documentation of the treatment site and technique. Accurate coding matters for inpatient reimbursement because it ensures radiation therapy is captured correctly for case mix, treatment intensity, and resource use.

When to Use

Use a code from this group when a patient receives inpatient therapeutic beam radiation specifically directed at the jejunum. Select the code when documentation indicates beam radiation was delivered to the jejunum as part of the inpatient treatment plan.

ICD-10-PCS Codes

ICD-10-PCS Code	Description
DD030ZZ	Beam Radiation of Jejunum using Photons <1 MeV
DD031ZZ	Beam Radiation of Jejunum using Photons 1 - 10 MeV
DD032ZZ	Beam Radiation of Jejunum using Photons >10 MeV
DD033Z0	Beam Radiation of Jejunum using Electrons, Intraoperative
DD033ZZ	Beam Radiation of Jejunum using Electrons
DD034ZZ	Beam Radiation of Jejunum using Heavy Particles (Protons,Ions)
DD035ZZ	Beam Radiation of Jejunum using Neutrons
DD036ZZ	Beam Radiation of Jejunum using Neutron Capture

Typical Clinical Scenarios

An elderly patient with a recently diagnosed jejunal adenocarcinoma is admitted for inpatient initiation of fractionated external beam radiation as part of a combined-modality plan following multidisciplinary tumor board review; inpatient admission is for management of symptoms, simulation, and coordination of daily treatments targeting the jejunum. Beam radiation is delivered to the jejunal tumor using photon energies appropriate for deep tissue penetration to spare surrounding organs. Typical codes: DD032ZZ, DD031ZZ
A middle-aged patient presents with acute gastrointestinal bleeding and progressive anemia from a locally recurrent jejunal neuroendocrine tumor previously resected; after stabilization, inpatient care includes urgent palliative external beam radiation to the jejunum to control bleeding and tumor burden. The beam approach is used to provide localized hemostasis and symptom relief while minimizing systemic therapy during the admission. Typical codes: DD031ZZ, DD030ZZ
A younger patient with an unresectable jejunal sarcoma receives proton therapy as a planned inpatient course when precise dose distribution is required to limit dose to adjacent small bowel and other abdominal organs; admission is for treatment planning, immobilization, and delivery of heavy particle beam radiation directed at the jejunum. This modality is selected for its tissue-sparing properties in a complex abdominal target. Typical codes: DD034ZZ
