Summary & Overview
ICD-10-PCS Code For Ileum: Procedure Code Group Overview
The International Classification of Diseases, Tenth Revision, Procedure Coding System (ICD-10-PCS) code group DDY4 includes procedures performed to apply other radiation to structures in the ileum. These ICD-10-PCS codes are used for inpatient documentation when radiation therapy targeting the ileum is delivered as part of inpatient care. Accurate coding within the ICD-10-PCS DDY4 group is essential for proper inpatient reimbursement, as it captures procedure performed and determines appropriate case mix and payment.

Typical Clinical Scenarios
- An elderly patient with Crohn disease presents to the hospital with severe small bowel bleeding and hemodynamic instability after failing endoscopic control; imaging localizes a bleeding source in the distal ileum and interventional teams proceed with targeted internal radiation therapy to achieve hemostasis when embolization is not feasible. Typical codes:
DDY47ZZ,DDY48ZZ - A middle-aged patient with metastatic neuroendocrine tumor involving the ileum is admitted for a planned, multidisciplinary treatment combining surgery and localized radiotherapeutic management to reduce tumor burden and palliate obstructive symptoms; a focused radiation procedure on the ileal segment is performed as part of the elective inpatient treatment plan. Typical codes:
DDY4CZZ,DDY4FZZ - A postoperative patient following ileal resection develops a recurrent localized tumor deposit at the anastomosis causing pain and partial obstruction; after discussion in the tumor board, a salvage localized radiation procedure to the residual ileal tissue is performed during the same admission to control local disease progression.
