About the DF0 Code Range
The ICD-10-PCS root operation Beam Radiation (code DF0) describes the targeted delivery of radiation using a beam to treat diseases in specific body systems. This operation is classified under Radiation Therapy and involves applying various types and energies of radiation to destroy or control malignant or abnormal tissue.
Within this classification, beam radiation is used on the Hepatobiliary System and Pancreas, including key organs such as the Liver, Gallbladder, Bile Ducts, and Pancreas. The provided codes specify the radiation type and method; for example, DF000ZZ indicates beam radiation of the liver using photons with energy less than 1 MeV, while DF003Z0 denotes electron beam radiation of the liver performed intraoperatively. Other techniques involve heavy particles like protons or ions (DF004ZZ), neutrons (DF005ZZ), and neutron capture (DF006ZZ). Variations in radiation type and energy level allow precise coding of the treatment technique, essential for accurate documentation and clinical care.
Questions About This Page
How many billable codes are in the DF0 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 DF0 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 hepatobiliary system and pancreas. Each code adds the body part, approach, device, and qualifier in characters four through seven, and links to its own reference page.
