Complex Radiation Therapy Simulation

Alaska rates for HCPCS 77290

Before radiation treatment begins, this session uses imaging to precisely map out the treatment area on the patient's body, accounting for complex anatomy or a treatment plan that requires extra planning detail, such as multiple treatment fields or shielding of nearby healthy structures. The radiation therapy team marks the treatment area and confirms positioning so that radiation can be delivered accurately and consistently at each future session. It represents a more involved planning session than a routine, straightforward simulation.
