Hello
I am in desperation... I have recently been given the task to do the coding for the professional side of radiation oncology. I have NO CLUE what I am doing. I have been trying to research things about it, but cannot understand what the sites are trying to tell me. The hospital I work for basically said ..." here you go, and good luck with that.No seminars no special books"
Can someone maybe help answer some of my questions.
How many times can a radiation oncologist bill for treatment planning during the patients radiation course?

77262
77263
How many times can the radiation oncologist bill for the following during the patients treatment??
Set radiation therapy field

77305
77310
Radiation treatment aid

Is the correct Diagnosis to use for these always start with the V58.0 and then the cancer code?

Thank you anyone in advance
