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

The International Classification of Diseases, Tenth Revision, Procedure Coding System (ICD-10-PCS) code group DPY2 includes procedures performed to deliver other radiation to the maxilla. These ICD-10-PCS codes are used for inpatient documentation when radiation therapy is administered to the maxillary bones for treatment or palliation of disease. Accurate coding within the ICD-10-PCS DPY2 group is essential for proper inpatient reimbursement, as it captures the procedure performed and supports clinical documentation accuracy.

Maxilla Other Radiation Procedure Overview

This procedure group includes inpatient radiation therapy procedures targeting the maxilla within the musculoskeletal system. These procedures involve delivery of therapeutic radiation to the maxillary bones and adjacent structures to treat disease or control local pathology. Accurate ICD-10-PCS coding of these radiation procedures supports proper inpatient reimbursement by reflecting the specific body part and operation performed.

When to Use

Use a code from this group when a patient receives inpatient radiation therapy specifically targeting the maxilla for treatment or symptom control. Do not use these codes for radiation delivered to other facial bones or non-maxillary sites.

ICD-10-PCS Codes

3 rows

ICD-10-PCS Code	Description
DPY27ZZ	Contact Radiation of Maxilla
DPY28ZZ	Hyperthermia of Maxilla
DPY2FZZ	Plaque Radiation of Maxilla

Typical Clinical Scenarios

An elderly patient with locally advanced squamous cell carcinoma of the maxillary sinus is admitted for inpatient initiation of a focused, non-systemic radiation technique to control tumor growth and relieve facial pain and obstruction; the treatment is planned to deliver targeted radiation directly to the maxillary bone to maximize local control while sparing surrounding structures. Typical codes: DPY27ZZ, DPY2FZZ
A middle-aged patient with recurrent osteoradionecrosis of the maxilla after prior external beam therapy develops progressive bone exposure and infection requiring inpatient multimodal therapy; during admission, a localized contact radiation or plaque application is used as adjunct palliative therapy to the involved maxillary bone to reduce tumor burden and symptom severity. Typical codes: DPY27ZZ, DPY2FZZ
A young adult admitted urgently for management of a bleeding vascular lesion of the maxilla not amenable to immediate surgical resection receives inpatient hyperthermia adjunctive radiation directed to the maxillary bone region to enhance tumor response and achieve hemostasis as part of combined-modality therapy. Typical codes: DPY28ZZ
