About the DF1 Code Range
Brachytherapy delivers radiation to the liver, gallbladder, bile ducts or pancreas using an isotope as its source.
The fourth character names the treatment site. The fifth separates High Dose Rate (HDR) from Low Dose Rate (LDR). The sixth identifies the isotope: Cesium 131 or 137, Iridium 192, Iodine 125, Palladium 103, Californium 252, or Other Isotope. The seventh records Unidirectional Source or None as the qualifier.
Questions About This Page
How many billable codes are in the DF1 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 DF1 range classify?
The range classifies Brachytherapy procedures, a type of radiation therapy in which radioactive material sealed in needles, seeds, wires, or catheters is placed directly into or near a tumor, 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.
