About the DG0 Code Range
The ICD-10-PCS root operation Beam Radiation (code DG0) refers to the use of targeted radiation beams to treat or affect specific parts of the endocrine system. This form of Radiation Therapy directs energy to precise body parts to manage medical conditions, primarily tumors or other abnormalities within endocrine organs.
This classification covers several endocrine glands including the pituitary gland, pineal body, adrenal glands, parathyroid glands, and thyroid. Various types and energies of radiation beams are employed, such as photons at different energy levels (<1 MeV, 1–10 MeV, and >10 MeV), electrons (both intraoperative and external), neutrons, and neutron capture therapy. For example, DG000ZZ represents beam radiation of the pituitary gland using photons less than 1 MeV, while DG053ZZ indicates beam radiation of the thyroid using electrons. Using these specific codes ensures accurate documentation of the targeted endocrine therapy and the radiation beam type and energy involved.
Questions About This Page
How many billable codes are in the DG0 range?
Of the 36 codes in this range, 35 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 DG0 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 endocrine system. Each code adds the body part, approach, device, and qualifier in characters four through seven, and links to its own reference page.
