Radiation Treatment Planning, Simple

Iowa rates for HCPCS 77261

The physician's planning work before radiation therapy starts: reviewing the diagnosis and imaging, deciding what area needs treating, choosing the dose, and setting out how the treatment course will run. This is the straightforward version, used when a single area is treated with a simple beam arrangement. It is the decision-making step rather than the delivery of any radiation.
