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

The International Classification of Diseases, Tenth Revision, Procedure Coding System (ICD-10-PCS) code group DU01 includes procedures performed to deliver beam radiation to structures in the cervix. These ICD-10-PCS codes are used for inpatient documentation when external beam radiation therapy to the cervix is provided during a hospital admission for treatment of malignancy or other conditions requiring hospital-based radiation therapy. Accurate coding within the ICD-10-PCS DU01 group is essential for proper inpatient reimbursement, as it captures the procedure performed and supports clinical documentation accuracy.

Cervix Beam Radiation Procedure Overview

Procedures in this ICD-10-PCS group involve delivering targeted external beam radiation to the cervix, part of the female reproductive system, to treat malignant or other abnormal tissue. These procedures are radiation therapy treatments rather than surgical interventions and are documented in inpatient records when delivered as part of a hospital stay. Accurate ICD-10-PCS coding for these beam radiation procedures ensures the procedure performed is captured correctly for clinical documentation and inpatient payment.

When to Use

Use codes from this group when a patient receives prescribed external beam radiation to the cervix during an inpatient encounter. Select the specific code that reflects the beam radiation delivery parameters and treatment intent as documented in the medical record.

ICD-10-PCS Codes

ICD-10-PCS Code	Description
DU010ZZ	Beam Radiation of Cervix using Photons <1 MeV
DU011ZZ	Beam Radiation of Cervix using Photons 1 - 10 MeV
DU012ZZ	Beam Radiation of Cervix using Photons >10 MeV
DU013Z0	Beam Radiation of Cervix using Electrons, Intraoperative
DU013ZZ	Beam Radiation of Cervix using Electrons
DU014ZZ	Beam Radiation of Cervix using Heavy Particles (Protons,Ions)
DU015ZZ	Beam Radiation of Cervix using Neutrons
DU016ZZ	Beam Radiation of Cervix using Neutron Capture

Typical Clinical Scenarios

A woman with newly diagnosed locally advanced cervical squamous cell carcinoma is admitted for initiation of inpatient external beam radiation as part of a combined-modality regimen with brachytherapy and chemotherapy; hospital admission is required for coordination of simulation, immobilization, and first fraction delivery under anesthesia for accurate targeting. Beam radiation is delivered to the cervical tumor bed targeting deep pelvic tissues with high-energy photons to achieve tumor cytotoxicity. Typical codes: DU012ZZ, DU011ZZ
An elderly patient with poor performance status and symptomatic pelvic bleeding from recurrent cervical cancer is hospitalized for palliative control of hemorrhage and pain; inpatient external beam therapy is used to rapidly reduce tumor bulk and control bleeding when outpatient treatment is not feasible. Short-course, lower-energy photon beams or electron fields focused on the cervix are used to provide symptomatic relief during the admission. Typical codes: DU011ZZ, DU010ZZ
A patient undergoing intraoperative management for cervical cancer has tumor resection with immediate delivery of electron beam radiation to the cervical surgical bed to sterilize microscopic residual disease; this is performed during the operative hospitalization as an intraoperative radiation procedure. Typical codes: DU013Z0, DU013ZZ
