Is it correct to charge for Treatment Management 77435 when patient received 3 of the 5 planned SBRT treatment deliveries? Medicare LCD states "CPT code 77435 should be reported once for the entire course of treatment.", this to me indicates that 77435 can only be billed when the patient completes the entire course.
 
You can bill the 77435 for 3 fractions out of a planned series of 5. The same rule would apply as you can bill 77427 for the final 3 fractions, as in a 28 fraction course of treatment
