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

The International Classification of Diseases, Tenth Revision, Procedure Coding System (ICD-10-PCS) code group DP06 includes procedures performed to apply beam radiation to structures in the humerus. These ICD-10-PCS codes are used for inpatient documentation when external beam radiation therapy is delivered to the humerus for treatment of tumors or other pathological conditions. Accurate coding within the ICD-10-PCS DP06 group is essential for proper inpatient reimbursement, as it captures the procedure performed and supports clinical documentation accuracy.

Humerus Beam Radiation Procedure Overview

Procedures in this ICD-10-PCS group involve delivering targeted beam radiation to the humerus within the musculoskeletal system to treat malignant or other pathological processes. These procedures use external beam radiation therapy techniques to focus ionizing radiation on the humerus while sparing surrounding tissues. Accurate coding matters for inpatient reimbursement because it documents the specific body part and radiation operation performed and supports appropriate case mix and payment.

When to Use

Use a code from this group when external beam radiation therapy is administered to the humerus during an inpatient encounter. Select the code that matches the exact beam radiation technique and laterality documented for the humerus.

ICD-10-PCS Codes

ICD-10-PCS Code	Description
DP060ZZ	Beam Radiation of Humerus using Photons <1 MeV
DP061ZZ	Beam Radiation of Humerus using Photons 1 - 10 MeV
DP062ZZ	Beam Radiation of Humerus using Photons >10 MeV
DP063Z0	Beam Radiation of Humerus using Electrons, Intraoperative
DP063ZZ	Beam Radiation of Humerus using Electrons
DP064ZZ	Beam Radiation of Humerus using Heavy Particles (Protons,Ions)
DP065ZZ	Beam Radiation of Humerus using Neutrons
DP066ZZ	Beam Radiation of Humerus using Neutron Capture

Typical Clinical Scenarios

An elderly patient with a painful, solitary metastatic lesion in the proximal humerus causing severe pain and functional impairment is admitted for inpatient pain control and stabilization; external beam radiation is planned to provide rapid analgesia and local tumor control while the team manages comorbidities and coordinates systemic therapy. A high-energy photon plan is often used for deep bone targets in the humerus. Typical codes: DP062ZZ, DP061ZZ
A middle-aged patient with a primary humeral bone sarcoma undergoes planned postoperative adjuvant external beam radiation after limb-sparing surgery to reduce local recurrence risk; the patient remains inpatient for coordination of postoperative care, monitoring, and initiation of radiation therapy as part of the treatment course. Treatment may use higher-energy photons for adequate penetration of the humeral shaft. Typical codes: DP062ZZ, DP061ZZ
A patient treated intraoperatively during tumor resection for a recurrent humeral lesion receives electron beam therapy delivered directly to the surgical bed to sterilize microscopic disease and limit exposure to surrounding tissues; this is performed during the inpatient surgical admission as an intraoperative radiation procedure. Typical codes: DP063Z0, DP063ZZ
