Does anyone know if we are able to bill for the 77014TC?

also - does anyone have any informaiton on the 77293? and does it take the place of the 77014TC?

77014 for planning CT is no longer billable in 2014 as it is bundled into the Simulation code.
77293 is billable when ordered and performed as an add-on code. It does not replace 77014 for CT planning.

Effective 2014, the only time you would be able to bill for the 77014 (as a part of the CT sim process) is if you are simulating on a CT that is not in the radiation oncology department. If you are using a CT in the radiology department than the radiology department is still able to charge the 77014-TC but this charge can no longer be utilized in the radiation therapy department (obviously except for it's IGRT definition)
