About the D00 Code Range
The ICD-10-PCS root operation Beam Radiation (code D00) is used in the Radiation Therapy classification to deliver targeted radiation beams to treat diseases affecting the central and peripheral nervous system. This operation focuses on applying controlled radiation to specific body parts without surgical incision.
The provided codes specify the beam radiation procedures for various nervous system structures such as the Brain, Brain Stem, Spinal Cord, and Peripheral Nerve. Different types and energies of radiation are used, including photons at levels under 1 MeV, 1-10 MeV, and above 10 MeV, electrons (with options for both general and intraoperative application), heavy particles like protons and ions, as well as neutrons and neutron capture techniques. For example, code D0002ZZ describes beam radiation of the brain using photons greater than 10 MeV, while D0063Z0 refers to intraoperative electron beam radiation of the spinal cord. These specific codes facilitate precise documentation of radiation therapy targeting various parts of the nervous system using different radiation modalities.
Questions About This Page
How many billable codes are in the D00 range?
Of the 33 codes in this range, 32 are billable and valid for inpatient claim submission from October 1, 2025 through September 30, 2026. Table header codes group them but cannot be reported on claims.
What does the D00 range classify?
The range classifies Beam Radiation procedures, a type of radiation therapy that uses a machine to aim high-energy rays at the cancer from outside of the body, performed on the central and peripheral nervous system. Each code adds the body part, approach, device, and qualifier in characters four through seven, and links to its own reference page.
