CW73YZZSystemic Nuclear Medicine Therapy of Chest using Other Radionuclide

CW73YZZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a systemic nuclear medicine therapy procedure on the chest using an other radionuclide approach with none (qualifier: none). In ICD-10-PCS, systemic nuclear medicine therapy means introduction of unsealed radioactive materials into the body for treatment.

In plain terms, this corresponds to injection or instillation of radioisotopes, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (92.28).

For a different body part, codes include CW70YZZ (abdomen), CW7GYZZ (thyroid), CW7NYZZ (whole body) and CW7YYZZ (anatomical regions, multiple).

The same procedure with a different approach is coded CW73NZZ (phosphorus 32 (P-32)).

It doesn't appear in the MS-DRG procedure index, so on its own it doesn't change the DRG assignment.

It has been valid since ICD-10-PCS took effect on October 1, 2015.
