ICD-10-PCS DP0 Radiation Therapy: Musculoskeletal System Beam Radiation

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.

List of ICD-10-PCS codes used to specify DP0 - Beam Radiation (a type of radiation therapy that uses a machine to aim high-energy rays at the cancer from outside of the body). There are a total of 89 procedure codes in this section.
