About the DP0 Code Range
The ICD-10-PCS root operation Beam Radiation (code DP0) refers to the use of targeted radiation beams to treat a specified body part. This operation is part of the Radiation Therapy section and applies to delivering radiation to the Musculoskeletal System for therapeutic purposes.
This classification includes various codes that specify the exact bone being treated, the type of radiation used, and the approach. For example, beam radiation can be applied to the Skull using photons of different energy levels, including less than 1 MeV (code DP000ZZ), 1 - 10 MeV (code DP001ZZ), or greater than 10 MeV (code DP002ZZ). Similarly, other bones such as the Maxilla, Mandible, Femur, and Tibia/Fibula have specific codes for photon or electron radiation beams, and unique approaches like Intraoperative radiation are also documented (e.g., DP003Z0 for skull electrons, intraoperative). This precise coding allows clinicians and coders to accurately document the specific radiation treatment modality and targeted bone location within the musculoskeletal system.
Questions About This Page
How many billable codes are in the DP0 range?
Of the 89 codes in this range, 88 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 DP0 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 musculoskeletal system. Each code adds the body part, approach, device, and qualifier in characters four through seven, and links to its own reference page.
