About DHY48ZZ
DHY48ZZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a other radiation procedure on the skin, arm using a hyperthermia approach with none (qualifier: none).
In plain terms, this corresponds to hyperthermia for treatment of cancer, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (99.85).
For a different body part, codes include DHY28ZZ (skin, face), DHY38ZZ (skin, neck), DHY68ZZ (skin, chest), DHY78ZZ (skin, back), DHY88ZZ (skin, abdomen), DHY98ZZ (skin, buttock) and 1 more.
The same procedure with a different approach is coded DHY47ZZ (contact radiation) and DHY4FZZ (plaque radiation).
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.
