About the DH0 Code Range
The ICD-10-PCS root operation Beam Radiation (code DH0) refers to the delivery of targeted radiation therapy to a specific body part using beams of radiation. This treatment is commonly applied to skin and involves precise methods to control or eradicate disease, often cancerous lesions.
Within the Radiation Therapy classification, beam radiation codes specify treatments given to various skin regions such as the face, neck, arm, chest, back, abdomen, buttock, and leg. The ICD-10-PCS codes further distinguish the type and energy of radiation used, including photons at different energy levels (<1 MeV, 1-10 MeV, >10 MeV), electrons (including intraoperative applications), heavy particles like protons or ions, neutrons, and neutron capture techniques. For example, code DH021ZZ represents beam radiation of face skin with photons between 1 to 10 MeV, while DH0B4ZZ designates beam radiation of leg skin using heavy particles (protons, ions). These detailed codes allow for accurate documentation of radiation therapy directed at skin, essential for treatment planning and outcome tracking.
Questions About This Page
How many billable codes are in the DH0 range?
Of the 65 codes in this range, 64 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 DH0 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 skin. Each code adds the body part, approach, device, and qualifier in characters four through seven, and links to its own reference page.
