ICD-10-PCS Code for Kidney: Procedure Code Group Overview

The International Classification of Diseases, Tenth Revision, Procedure Coding System (ICD-10-PCS) code group DT00 includes procedures performed to deliver beam radiation to the kidney. These ICD-10-PCS codes are used for inpatient documentation when external beam radiation therapy is administered to the kidneys for treatment of malignant or other indicated renal conditions. Accurate coding within the ICD-10-PCS DT00 group is essential for proper inpatient reimbursement, as it captures the procedure performed and determines appropriate case mix and payment.

Kidney Beam Radiation Procedure Overview

This procedure group includes beam radiation treatments directed at the kidneys within the urinary system. Procedures involve delivery of targeted external beam radiation to renal tissue to treat malignant or other specified conditions while minimizing exposure to surrounding structures. Accurate ICD-10-PCS coding is important for inpatient reimbursement because it documents the specific radiation therapy delivered and supports appropriate case mix assignment.

When to Use

Use codes from this group when beam radiation is administered to the kidney during an inpatient stay for treatment of malignancy or other indicated renal conditions. Select the specific ICD-10-PCS code that reflects the beam radiation delivery parameters and targeted renal laterality if applicable.

ICD-10-PCS Codes

8 rows

ICD-10-PCS Code	Description
DT000ZZ	Beam Radiation of Kidney using Photons <1 MeV
DT001ZZ	Beam Radiation of Kidney using Photons 1 - 10 MeV
DT002ZZ	Beam Radiation of Kidney using Photons >10 MeV
DT003Z0	Beam Radiation of Kidney using Electrons, Intraoperative
DT003ZZ	Beam Radiation of Kidney using Electrons
DT004ZZ	Beam Radiation of Kidney using Heavy Particles (Protons,Ions)
DT005ZZ	Beam Radiation of Kidney using Neutrons
DT006ZZ	Beam Radiation of Kidney using Neutron Capture

Typical Clinical Scenarios

A frail 72-year-old patient with a newly diagnosed, localized renal cell carcinoma admitted for inpatient workup and initiation of definitive external beam therapy because of limited outpatient mobility and need for multidisciplinary coordination; inpatient delivery of targeted photon beam radiation is planned to reduce tumor burden while sparing adjacent organs. Typical codes: DT001ZZ, DT002ZZ
A 45-year-old patient with a recurrent renal malignancy previously treated with surgery who is admitted electively for stereotactic-like high-energy external beam radiation to a solitary renal lesion to achieve local control as part of multimodal therapy; inpatient radiation using high-energy photons or protons is selected due to lesion location and prior treatments. Typical codes: DT002ZZ, DT004ZZ
A critically ill patient in the operating suite with a bleeding renal tumor undergoing partial nephrectomy who requires immediate intraoperative electron beam radiation to the renal bed because of positive margins identified during the procedure; intraoperative beam radiation is performed to reduce residual microscopic disease. Typical codes: DT003Z0
