About the DB0 Code Range
Beam radiation treats sites in the respiratory system, including the trachea, bronchus, lung, pleura, mediastinum, chest wall and diaphragm.
The fourth character identifies the treatment site. The fifth separates photon energy ranges, electrons, heavy particles, neutrons and neutron capture. The sixth character is None for isotope. The seventh distinguishes Intraoperative, meaning during an operation, from None.
Questions About This Page
How many billable codes are in the DB0 range?
Of the 57 codes in this range, 56 are billable and valid for inpatient claim submission from October 1, 2026 through September 30, 2027. Table header codes group them but cannot be reported on claims.
What does the DB0 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 respiratory system. Each code adds the body part, approach, device, and qualifier in characters four through seven, and links to its own reference page.
