Using Radiation Oncology Planning Codes for HIFU

Date: Apr 26, 2021

Question:

Can we use codes like 77295, 77300, 77334, and 77370 with HIFU procedures? We are doing uterine, neuro, bone, and prostate HIFUs. Currently we are billing these codes, but should we stop using these codes even though the treatment planning is not specifically stated in the CPTs? Is the treatment planning and everything associated with the HIFU implied in the CPT codes as part of the routine procedure, similar to other interventional procedures that bundle everything?
