About the DW0 Code Range
These codes describe beam radiation directed at the head and neck, chest, abdomen, pelvic region, half the body, or the whole body.
The fourth character identifies the treatment site. The fifth distinguishes photons by energy level from electrons, heavy particles, neutrons, and neutron capture. The sixth character is always None for isotope. The seventh distinguishes Intraoperative, meaning during an operation, from None.
Questions About This Page
How many billable codes are in the DW0 range?
Of the 49 codes in this range, 48 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 DW0 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 anatomical regions. Each code adds the body part, approach, device, and qualifier in characters four through seven, and links to its own reference page.
