Forward2025 ASTRO Coding and Coverage Seminar onDemand
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.
Topics Included:
- 2026 Radiation Oncology Coding and Billing Changes
- Non-Malignant Disease Coding and Billing
- NCCI PTP Edits & Coding Modifiers
- Physician Supervision: Site of Service Distinctions and Recent Changes
- 3D and IMRT
- Brachytherapy
- SRS and SBRT
- Proton Beam Therapy and Radiopharmaceuticals
