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

The International Classification of Diseases, Tenth Revision, Procedure Coding System (ICD-10-PCS) code group DHYC includes procedures performed to deliver other radiation to the skin in the foot. These ICD-10-PCS codes are used for inpatient documentation when a patient receives localized radiation therapy to treat skin lesions or conditions on the foot. Accurate coding within the ICD-10-PCS DHYC group is essential for proper inpatient reimbursement, as it captures the procedure performed and supports clinical documentation accuracy.

ICD-10-PCS Code	Description
DHYCFZZ	Plaque Radiation of Foot Skin

Typical Clinical Scenarios

An elderly patient with a rapidly enlarging, biopsy-proven cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma on the dorsum of the foot, who is admitted for localized radiation because surgical excision would compromise foot function. Inpatient plaque radiation is delivered to the skin lesion to achieve local control while preserving adjacent structures. The procedure targets the skin of the foot using a localized plaque technique. Typical codes: DHYCFZZ
A middle-aged patient with multiple recurrent basal cell carcinomas on the plantar surface of the foot after prior conservative treatments presents for inpatient localized radiation therapy. Because lesions are superficial and confined to the foot skin and prior therapies failed, plaque radiation is used to treat the cutaneous lesions during this admission. Typical codes: DHYCFZZ
An immunocompromised patient admitted urgently for management of an ulcerating skin lesion on the ankle/foot diagnosed as malignant melanoma in situ where rapid local control is required to prevent extension and infection. The care team performs localized plaque radiation to the affected foot skin as part of the inpatient treatment plan to control the lesion when immediate wide excision is not feasible. Typical codes: DHYCFZZ
