About 77306: Simple teletherapy isodose planning
Reports a simple external-beam radiation dose plan for one treatment area using a limited beam arrangement, with professional and technical billing options.
This service covers development of an isodose plan for external-beam radiation therapy. A radiation oncologist directs the prescription and plan, with dosimetrists and medical physicists commonly supporting the calculations and planning work. The simple level is associated with one treatment area and a straightforward arrangement, typically one or two opposed beams. It is used in radiation oncology practices and treatment centers to plan the intended dose distribution before treatment delivery.
Select this code when the documented plan meets the simple-level criteria; a more involved arrangement or multiple treatment areas may point to 77307 instead. The record should support the treatment area, beam arrangement, prescribed dose, and resulting plan. Report it for the planning service, not for each treatment fraction. CMS lists separately priced professional and technical components: modifier 26 identifies the professional portion, modifier TC the technical portion, and billing without either modifier represents the global service.
CMS billing rules for 77306

77306 billing questions
How is 77306 distinguished from 77307?
Use 77306 for a simple plan involving one treatment area and a straightforward beam arrangement, typically one or two opposed beams. A more complex arrangement or multiple treatment areas may support 77307.
Is this code reported for each radiation treatment?
No. It represents development of the isodose plan, rather than delivery of each treatment fraction.
Can the professional and technical portions be billed separately?
Yes. Modifier 26 identifies the professional portion and modifier TC identifies the technical portion; billing without either modifier represents the global service.
What documentation supports the simple plan level?
Document the treatment area, beam arrangement, prescribed dose, and planned dose distribution so the simple-level selection is supported.
Is 77306 used for brachytherapy planning?
No. This code is for teletherapy planning. Brachytherapy isodose planning is represented by codes such as 77316, 77317, or 77318, depending on plan complexity.
Where these rates come from
FeeBase calculates base physician payments from CMS work, practice-expense, and malpractice RVUs, adjusted by each locality’s geographic indices and the applicable conversion factor. Unavailable or separately priced services are labeled rather than assigned a made-up amount.
