What 77262 covers
A radiation oncologist reviews the patient’s clinical information and relevant imaging, defines the treatment target and considers nearby normal structures, then establishes the treatment approach. Planning decisions may address treatment modality, dose, and fractionation. This service is used in radiation oncology for planning an individual course of treatment; the treatment site alone does not determine its complexity level.
Choose the intermediate level when the documented planning work supports that degree of complexity, rather than the simpler or more complex levels. The record should show the clinical information reviewed and the reasoning behind the treatment approach and complexity assigned. CMS identifies this as a professional-component-only code: it represents the physician’s interpretation and report, while a separate code covers the technical portion. Simulation and treatment planning describe distinct work; report a simulation service separately when performed.
This summary was written with AI assistance from CMS physician fee schedule data and checked against the CMS billing rules shown here. Rates on this page come directly from CMS files.

77262 billing questions
How is 77262 distinguished from 77261 or 77263?
The levels distinguish the complexity of the clinical treatment planning. Select the intermediate level when the physician’s documented planning work supports it; the treatment site by itself does not establish the level.
Is simulation included in 77262?
No. Treatment planning and simulation are distinct services. Simulation codes, such as 77285 for intermediate-complexity simulation, describe simulation work rather than the physician’s treatment-planning decisions.
Does 77262 represent the professional or technical service?
It represents the professional component: the physician’s interpretation and report. CMS identifies a separate code for the technical portion.
Should modifier 26 be appended?
No. This is already a professional-component-only code; it does not represent a global service that needs modifier 26 to identify the professional portion.
What documentation supports the intermediate level?
Document the clinical information and imaging reviewed, the treatment approach selected, and the reasoning supporting intermediate planning complexity. A diagnosis or anatomic site alone does not establish the level.
Where these rates come from
FeeBase calculates base physician payments from CMS work, practice-expense and malpractice RVUs, adjusted by each locality’s geographic indexes and the conversion factor. Services without a published rate are labeled, never given a made-up amount. Amounts are Medicare allowed amounts before claim adjustments: not a patient’s bill or a commercial rate.
