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

The International Classification of Diseases, Tenth Revision, Procedure Coding System (ICD-10-PCS) code group DU10 includes procedures performed to deliver brachytherapy to the ovary in the female reproductive system. These ICD-10-PCS codes are used for inpatient documentation when radioactive sources are placed in or adjacent to the ovary to treat malignant or other pathological conditions. Accurate coding within the ICD-10-PCS DU10 group is essential for proper inpatient reimbursement, as it captures the specific brachytherapy procedure performed and supports clinical documentation accuracy.

Ovary Brachytherapy Procedure Overview

Procedures in this group involve placement of radiation sources directly into or near the ovary to deliver targeted brachytherapy and treat disease within the female reproductive system. These inpatient procedures target the ovary and adjacent structures and require accurate documentation of the approach, dose delivery method, and any guiding imaging or applicators used. Precise ICD-10-PCS coding is important to reflect the specific brachytherapy procedure performed and to support appropriate inpatient reimbursement.

When to Use

Use a code from this group when radioactive material is intentionally placed within or adjacent to the ovary for therapeutic radiation delivery. Select the code that reflects the exact brachytherapy technique, approach, and any associated imaging or applicator placement documented in the inpatient record.

Typical Clinical Scenarios

A 58-year-old woman with a history of a unilateral ovarian epithelial carcinoma undergoes an inpatient planned brachytherapy session as part of definitive localized treatment following cytoreductive surgery. The oncology team places temporary intraperitoneal applicators adjacent to the affected ovary and delivers high dose rate radiation using an iridium-192 source to target residual microscopic disease while limiting exposure to surrounding pelvic organs. The inpatient stay is for monitored delivery and short-term postprocedure observation. Typical codes: DU1098Z
A 45-year-old woman presents emergently with bleeding from a recurrent ovarian malignancy identified on imaging after prior therapy; after stabilization, inpatient management includes placement of permanent low dose rate brachytherapy seeds directly into the ovarian bed to achieve hemostasis and local tumor control. Given the intent to leave radioactive sources in place for continuous low dose delivery, a palladium-103 implant is selected and placed during the admission. The patient remains hospitalized for monitoring of hemodynamic status and radiation safety precautions. Typical codes: DU10BBZ
A 63-year-old woman with prior low dose rate brachytherapy seed implantation for ovarian tumor returns with persistent localized disease on follow-up. Inpatient treatment involves removal of failed or migrated low dose permanent seeds and placement of a different isotope to improve dose distribution; the team performs removal followed by new low dose rate implantation using iodine-125 seeds to address residual tumor. The admission is for the revision procedure and postoperative monitoring. Typical codes: DU10B9Z
