ICD-10-PCS Code For Pelvic Bones: Procedure Code Group Overview

The International Classification of Diseases, Tenth Revision, Procedure Coding System (ICD-10-PCS) code group DP08 includes procedures performed to administer beam radiation to structures in the pelvic bones. These ICD-10-PCS codes are used for inpatient documentation when external beam radiation is delivered to pelvic bone targets for treatment of cancerous or other indicated bone lesions. Accurate coding within the ICD-10-PCS DP08 group is essential for proper inpatient reimbursement, as it captures the procedure performed and supports clinical documentation accuracy.

Pelvic Bones Beam Radiation Procedure Overview

This procedure group includes beam radiation treatments directed at the pelvic bones and targets the musculoskeletal system. Procedures involve delivery of external beam radiation to bone structures in the pelvis to treat malignant or other clinically indicated lesions. Accurate ICD-10-PCS coding of these procedures ensures inpatient records reflect the specific operation and body part treated, which affects case mix and reimbursement.

When to Use

Use codes from this group when a patient receives external beam radiation therapy targeted to pelvic bone structures during an inpatient stay. Select the code when the documented procedure explicitly indicates beam radiation delivered to the pelvic bones.

ICD-10-PCS Code	Description
DP080ZZ	Beam Radiation of Pelvic Bones using Photons <1 MeV
DP081ZZ	Beam Radiation of Pelvic Bones using Photons 1 - 10 MeV
DP082ZZ	Beam Radiation of Pelvic Bones using Photons >10 MeV
DP083Z0	Beam Radiation of Pelvic Bones using Electrons, Intraoperative
DP083ZZ	Beam Radiation of Pelvic Bones using Electrons
DP084ZZ	Beam Radiation of Pelvic Bones using Heavy Particles (Protons,Ions)
DP085ZZ	Beam Radiation of Pelvic Bones using Neutrons
DP086ZZ	Beam Radiation of Pelvic Bones using Neutron Capture

Typical Clinical Scenarios

An adult patient with a known metastatic prostate carcinoma is admitted for symptom control of severe localized pelvic bone pain from a lytic lesion in the right iliac bone. The oncology team orders a single fraction of external beam photon radiation to the affected pelvic bone to achieve rapid analgesia during the inpatient stay. Coding captures the beam radiation to the pelvic bones using the photon energy appropriate to the treatment plan. Typical codes: DP081ZZ, DP082ZZ
A middle-aged patient undergoes a planned inpatient course of fractionated external beam radiotherapy to a primary bone sarcoma involving the pubic ramus. Treatment is delivered over multiple sessions using high-energy photons as part of a coordinated surgical and oncologic treatment plan. The inpatient procedure coding reflects beam radiation directed to the pelvic bones with the photon energy level documented in the radiation prescription. Typical codes: DP081ZZ, DP082ZZ
A patient with recurrent metastatic disease to the sacrum previously treated with photons presents for re-irradiation; given proximity to critical structures the team selects proton therapy to limit additional normal tissue dose. The inpatient admission is for delivery of beam radiation to the pelvic bones using heavy particles as documented in the treatment plan for re-treatment. Typical codes: DP084ZZ
