We are running into a bit of an issue when coding 77300, 77301 and 77307.

The following edits appear:

Column 1 / Column 2
77301 / 77307

Column 1 / Column 2
77307 / 77300

Since 77301 does not allow 77307, once I remove 77307 am I ok to bill 77300?
Or because they all exist together on the original bill, should I remove both 77307 and 77300?

Thanks so much!

You cannot bill 77307 with 77301, I am not sure if you planned multiple areas and one was non-IMRT, but the IMRT planning is the higher level and the 77307 would not be billable.

Code 77300 can be billed with 77301 as supported and documented. There are calculations as part of the IMRT planning process. They have to be independently preformed and documented from the ones in the plan itself, but the calculations supporting this are billable for a course of IMRT.
