Radiation Sources Placed In A Body Cavity

Colorado rates for HCPCS 77762

Radioactive sources are placed inside a natural body cavity, next to a tumor, so the radiation acts on it from close range while sparing surrounding tissue. This covers a moderately involved application, using more sources and applicators and more set-up work than a straightforward one.
