Question:
Are there any 2023 NCCI changes for radiation oncology?
Answer:
Yes, for 2023 the following changes were made in bold in the third paragraph of section one:
F. Radiation Oncology
E&M services (i.e., 99211-99213) may be reported with CPT® code 77401 (Radiation treatment delivery, superficial and/or ortho voltage, per day) with modifier 25 for the purpose of reporting physician services for certain aspects of radiation therapy planning.
