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 DUY2 includes procedures performed to deliver other radiation to structures in the uterus. These ICD-10-PCS codes are used for inpatient documentation when a patient receives nonstandard or unspecified radiation therapy directed at uterine tissue. Accurate coding within the ICD-10-PCS DUY2 group is essential for proper inpatient reimbursement, as it captures the procedure performed and determines appropriate case mix and payment.

ICD-10-PCS Codes

ICD-10-PCS Code	Description
DUY27ZZ	Contact Radiation of Uterus
DUY28ZZ	Hyperthermia of Uterus
DUY2CZZ	Intraoperative Radiation Therapy (IORT) of Uterus
DUY2FZZ	Plaque Radiation of Uterus

Typical Clinical Scenarios

A postmenopausal woman with locally advanced endometrial carcinoma is admitted after neoadjuvant therapy planning for inpatient radiation boost to the uterine bed to improve local control prior to surgery; the inpatient stay is used to deliver a localized, nonstandard radiation modality not covered by standard external beam protocols. Other Radiation directed to uterine tissue is performed to deliver the tailored therapeutic dose. Typical codes: DUY27ZZ, DUY2CZZ
A reproductive-age patient with a recurrent cervical stump tumor after prior hysterectomy presents for planned intraoperative adjunct therapy during a scheduled pelvic surgery; the surgical team administers intraoperative radiation directly to residual uterine stump tissue to reduce local recurrence risk. Intraoperative delivery of radiation to uterine structures is documented using an Other Radiation procedure from this group. Typical codes: DUY2CZZ
An inpatient with a pelvic malignancy involving the uterus develops a symptomatic localized lesion requiring plaque placement for focused brachytherapy when external beam options are limited by prior dose exposure; the patient is admitted for placement of a radiation plaque to the uterine surface as a targeted salvage treatment. This targeted plaque radiation to uterine tissue is coded from the Other Radiation category. Typical codes: DUY2FZZ, DUY27ZZ
