2025 Coding and Coverage Seminar Evaluation

This evaluation is for physicians and radiation therapists who are seeking credits for this seminar. All other attendees can email [email protected] for a certificate of attendance.

The ASTRO Coding and Coverage Seminar is designed to provide information to ASTRO members (radiation oncologists, radiation physicists, dosimetrists, radiation therapists), coding professionals and practice administrators on the topic of CPT codes and coverage within radiation oncology. The code set within radiation oncology is very complex and reflects ongoing changes due to changes in health care policies, private and public payer coverage determinations, and national correct coding edits and modalities within the practice of radiation oncology. Correct coding reflects collaboration between the radiation oncology clinical team, but also between professional coders and practice administrators. Correct coding has widespread impacts on code development and valuation, which could potentially have long-term effects on coverage and reimbursements for all members in the radiation oncology community. The ASTRO Coding and Coverage Seminar will address these topics, strengthening the knowledge and practice of clinical coding within the specialty of radiation oncology.

Target Audience

This meeting is designed to meet the interests of radiation oncologists, physicists, radiation therapists, radiation dosimetrists, practice administrators, certified coders and professional coders.

 

Learning Objectives

Upon completion of this live activity, attendees should be able to do the following:

  • Navigate the 2026 coding changes to Radiation Oncology treatment delivery and superficial/orthovoltage codes.
  • Describe the process of code development and the significance it holds for correct coding in radiation oncology.
  • Demonstrate accurate coding of several clinical case studies across multiple radiation oncology modalities.
  • Explain the significance of advocacy and ASTRO’s advocacy efforts within radiation oncology.
