CPT code 77295: Radiotherapy plan, three-dimensional plan2026 Medicare rate & RVUs in Missouri
Report this service for a three-dimensional radiation therapy plan that models the target and nearby normal tissues to guide dose delivery.
Medicare pays $438.54–$469.14 for 77295 in the office in Missouri, from Rest of Missouri to Metropolitan St. Louis, MO. Which amount applies depends on the service address.
Medicare allowed amount for participating (non-QP) physicians, before deductible, coinsurance and claim adjustments. Not a patient’s bill or a hospital charge.

What 77295 covers
A radiation oncology team uses imaging data to map the treatment target and surrounding structures, arrange radiation beams, and calculate how the planned dose is distributed in three dimensions. The plan may include dose-volume analysis to assess target coverage and exposure to nearby organs at risk. Radiation oncologists and medical physicists typically develop or review the plan as part of external-beam treatment planning.
Select this code when the documented work supports a three-dimensional plan, rather than a treatment-planning complexity level or a simulation service. Records should support the modeled anatomy, planned beam arrangement, dose calculations, and dose-volume analysis. CMS recognizes professional and technical components: report modifier 26 for the professional interpretation, modifier TC for the technical work and resources, or no component modifier for the global service. The professional and technical components are separately priced by CMS.

How to choose
- 77263Treatment planningComplex planning
- 77263 identifies complex treatment-planning work by complexity level. Use 77295 when the service is a three-dimensional plan with modeled dose distribution.
- 77290Radiation simulationComplex setup
- 77290 covers complex treatment simulation and field setup. It does not represent development of the three-dimensional dose plan.
- 77301IMRT planningDose optimization and volume analysis
- 77301 is for intensity-modulated radiotherapy planning. 77295 describes three-dimensional radiotherapy planning by a different method.
77295 billing questions
How is this different from 77263?
77295 represents a three-dimensional radiation plan. Code 77263 describes a treatment-planning complexity level; select based on the service documented rather than treating the codes as interchangeable.
Is this the same service as simulation under 77290?
No. Simulation establishes or verifies treatment setup and fields; 77295 covers development of the three-dimensional plan. The services may be part of the same treatment-planning process.
Which modifier should be used for a split-component claim?
Use modifier 26 for the professional interpretation or modifier TC for the technical portion. Submit without either modifier when billing the global service.
What documentation supports reporting 77295?
The record should support three-dimensional modeling of the target and surrounding anatomy, planned beam arrangement, dose calculations, and dose-volume analysis.
How does 77295 differ from an IMRT plan?
77295 describes three-dimensional radiotherapy planning. Code 77301 is used for intensity-modulated radiotherapy planning, a distinct planning method.
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.
