ICD-10-PCS Code For Breast Right: Procedure Code Group Overview

The International Classification of Diseases, Tenth Revision, Procedure Coding System (ICD-10-PCS) code group DM01 includes procedures performed to deliver beam radiation to structures in the breast, right. These ICD-10-PCS codes are used for inpatient documentation when a patient receives beam radiation therapy specifically directed at the right breast for treatment of malignancy or other clinical indications. Accurate coding within the ICD-10-PCS DM01 group is essential for proper inpatient reimbursement, as it captures the procedure performed and supports clinical documentation accuracy.

Breast, Right Beam Radiation Procedure Overview

This procedure group includes beam radiation treatments targeted to the right breast, delivered as part of radiation therapy to treat breast tissue and related structures. Procedures in this group involve external or internal beam radiation modalities directed at the breast, right to control or eradicate malignant or benign lesions. Accurate ICD-10-PCS coding of these procedures ensures inpatient records reflect the therapy delivered and supports appropriate reimbursement determination.

ICD-10-PCS Codes

ICD-10-PCS Code	Description
DM010ZZ	Beam Radiation of Right Breast using Photons <1 MeV
DM011ZZ	Beam Radiation of Right Breast using Photons 1 - 10 MeV
DM012ZZ	Beam Radiation of Right Breast using Photons >10 MeV
DM013Z0	Beam Radiation of Right Breast using Electrons, Intraoperative
DM013ZZ	Beam Radiation of Right Breast using Electrons
DM014ZZ	Beam Radiation of Right Breast using Heavy Particles (Protons,Ions)
DM015ZZ	Beam Radiation of Right Breast using Neutrons
DM016ZZ	Beam Radiation of Right Breast using Neutron Capture

Typical Clinical Scenarios

An elderly woman admitted for inpatient management following surgical lumpectomy for right-sided invasive ductal carcinoma who requires adjuvant external beam radiation to the right breast as part of her cancer treatment plan. The patient is planned to receive fractionated photon therapy with beam energies selected based on depth and tissue characteristics to ensure adequate dose to the target while sparing underlying structures. A code is assigned to document delivery of photon beam radiation to the right breast during the inpatient stay. Typical codes: DM011ZZ, DM012ZZ
A middle-aged patient hospitalized for acute management of a pathologic right-breast wound with uncontrolled bleeding and tumor burden where inpatient palliative beam radiation is initiated to the right breast to achieve rapid local control and hemostasis. Treatment selection favors high-energy photons to penetrate deeper lesions and treat chest wall involvement detected on imaging. The inpatient record should reflect beam radiation delivery to the right breast directed at symptomatic tumor control. Typical codes: DM010ZZ, DM012ZZ
A younger patient undergoing intraoperative radiotherapy at the time of right breast conserving surgery for a small early-stage tumor; a single high-dose electron beam is delivered directly to the tumor bed intraoperatively to reduce the need for prolonged postoperative radiation. The procedure is documented as beam radiation using electrons with an intraoperative approach targeted to the right breast. Typical codes: DM013Z0, DM013ZZ
