Oncology coding – active vs history

Hello fellow coders ~ I’m trying to find an answer to oncology coding. I have a patient who has finished chemo treatment for breast cancer. She has had the all clear, but is on a 5 year oral chemo treatment for maintenance. How would this be coded?? History of or active treatment? Any help would be greatly appreciated!!

Radiation Oncology CPT 77263

Hi All,

I have a physician who believes that for a patient receiving brachytherapy you can charge CPT 77263 at each brachytherapy visit. I am not seeing any information that this can be done. 77263 is for complex therapeutic radiology treatment planning. I believe that this can be charged anytime there is a change in the treatment planning, not each time a brachytherapy session is performed.

Is there any new information that states a new treatment planning can be charged at each brachytherapy visit? If so, can you give me any information on a website? Or, if not can you advise on how I can explain to the doctor that he cannot code this out?

Any help would be appreciated!

Radiation Oncology E/M

Good Morning,
I’m wondering if there are any resources out there to help with E/M coding for radiation oncology that someone can share. More specifically, I’m looking for examples of what the documentation would look like and the reasoning behind the E/M codes selected.

One of my most pressing conundrums is deciding on an accurate Risk score. I’m coming across many patients that are being seen for a follow up, nothing is noted to be getting worse and seems stable. No documentation to assume otherwise. Nothing more is being done currently, pt either has completed radiation tx or will begin after chemo, but I can’t decide if the risk for this would be low or moderate. Any advise or direction would be much appreciated.
Thanks
Laura
