About the DB0 Code Range
The ICD-10-PCS root operation Beam Radiation (code DB0) refers to the use of high-energy radiation directed specifically at a body part to treat disease, typically cancer. This operation is part of the Radiation Therapy section and focuses on delivering targeted beams to affected areas.
The Beam Radiation procedure applies to various structures within the Respiratory System, including the Trachea, Bronchus, Lung, Pleura, Mediastinum, Chest Wall, and Diaphragm. The treatment can involve different types and energies of radiation, such as Photons at varying energy levels (<1 MeV, 1-10 MeV, >10 MeV), Electrons (including intraoperative use), Heavy Particles like protons or ions, and Neutrons, including neutron capture therapy. For example, code DB000ZZ specifies beam radiation of the trachea using photons under 1 MeV, while DB074ZZ refers to heavy particle radiation of the chest wall. These detailed codes facilitate precise documentation and reflect the exact approach and type of beam radiation employed for effective respiratory system treatment.
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, 2025 through September 30, 2026. 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.
