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

The International Classification of Diseases, Tenth Revision, Procedure Coding System (ICD-10-PCS) code group DU22 includes procedures performed to ablate or treat tissue using stereotactic radiosurgery in the uterus. These ICD-10-PCS codes are used for inpatient documentation when stereotactic radiosurgery is delivered to the female reproductive system for therapeutic control of uterine lesions. Accurate coding within the ICD-10-PCS DU22 group is essential for proper inpatient reimbursement, as it captures the specialized radiation therapy performed and supports clinical documentation accuracy.

Uterus Stereotactic Radiosurgery Procedure Overview

Procedures in this group involve stereotactic radiosurgery delivered to the uterus, targeting uterine tissue within the female reproductive system using precisely focused radiation beams. These procedures are noninvasive radiation treatments that require accurate documentation of the therapy technique and targeted body part. Precise ICD-10-PCS coding ensures inpatient records reflect the specialized radiation therapy performed and supports correct reimbursement and case mix assignment.

Typical Clinical Scenarios

A 62-year-old woman with a solitary, well-defined metastatic uterine lesion causing progressive pelvic pain and bleeding is admitted for inpatient management due to pain control needs and comorbidities. Multidisciplinary review determines that a single-session, high-dose focused photon stereotactic radiosurgery beam can ablate the lesion while minimizing dose to adjacent bowel and bladder, so stereotactic other photon radiosurgery of the uterus is performed. The procedure is selected because the patient’s anatomy and prior therapies favor a photon-based stereotactic approach delivered precisely to the uterine target. Typical codes: DU22DZZ
A 45-year-old woman presents urgently with rapidly enlarging uterine fibroid causing acute urinary retention and severe pain; she is admitted for short-stay inpatient intervention after conservative measures fail. Because surgical risks are high from prior abdominal operations and the lesion is well localized, stereotactic particulate radiosurgery is delivered to the uterine mass to achieve focused tumor control and reduce volume without invasive surgery. The particulate particle-based stereotactic delivery is chosen based on device availability and the treatment team’s plan for focused noninvasive ablation. Typical codes: DU22HZZ
A 54-year-old patient who previously underwent external beam radiation for a recurrent uterine neoplasm presents with persistent focal disease at the prior treatment site. Because prior external beam fields limit retreatment options, stereotactic gamma beam radiosurgery is performed inpatient to deliver a concentrated dose to the residual lesion while sparing previously irradiated surrounding tissues. This revision-targeted radiosurgical approach is used to control the refractory lesion without a repeat open procedure. Typical codes: DU22JZZ
