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

The International Classification of Diseases, Tenth Revision, Procedure Coding System (ICD-10-PCS) code group DV00 includes procedures performed to apply beam radiation to the prostate. These ICD-10-PCS codes are used for inpatient documentation when beam radiation is delivered as a therapeutic procedure targeting the prostate. Accurate coding within the ICD-10-PCS DV00 group is essential for proper inpatient reimbursement, as it captures the procedure performed and supports clinical documentation accuracy.

Prostate Beam Radiation Procedure Overview

This procedure group includes beam radiation treatments directed at the prostate within the male reproductive system. These procedures involve delivery of external or internal beam radiation to target prostate tissue for therapeutic purposes, often by radiation oncology teams. Accurate ICD-10-PCS coding of these procedures ensures inpatient records reflect the treatment delivered and supports appropriate reimbursement and clinical documentation.

ICD-10-PCS Codes

ICD-10-PCS Code	Description
DV000ZZ	Beam Radiation of Prostate using Photons <1 MeV
DV001ZZ	Beam Radiation of Prostate using Photons 1 - 10 MeV
DV002ZZ	Beam Radiation of Prostate using Photons >10 MeV
DV003Z0	Beam Radiation of Prostate using Electrons, Intraoperative
DV003ZZ	Beam Radiation of Prostate using Electrons
DV004ZZ	Beam Radiation of Prostate using Heavy Particles (Protons,Ions)
DV005ZZ	Beam Radiation of Prostate using Neutrons
DV006ZZ	Beam Radiation of Prostate using Neutron Capture

Typical Clinical Scenarios

A frail elderly man with newly diagnosed locally advanced prostate cancer is admitted for inpatient management of acute urinary retention and initiation of definitive radiation therapy after stabilization; beam radiation to the prostate is delivered as part of planned definitive treatment to control local tumor and relieve obstructive symptoms. Typical codes: DV002ZZ, DV001ZZ
A middle-aged patient with recurrent prostate cancer previously treated with surgery presents for inpatient stereotactic boost to a dominant intraprostatic lesion after multidisciplinary review; the high-energy external beam session is given in a controlled inpatient setting to maximize precision and manage comorbidities that require close monitoring. Typical codes: DV002ZZ, DV004ZZ
A patient develops severe radiation-related soft tissue necrosis and pain after prior outpatient pelvic radiation and is admitted for palliative re-irradiation of the prostate region to control pain and local progression; targeted beam radiation is delivered with an adjusted modality to provide symptom relief while monitoring acute toxicity. Typical codes: DV001ZZ, DV003ZZ
