About 77469: Intraoperative radiation treatment management
Reports physician management of intraoperative radiation treatment delivered during surgery, distinct from the separate code for delivering the radiation beam.
This service represents the radiation oncologist’s management of radiation delivered in the operating room during a surgical procedure. Intraoperative radiation therapy may be used to treat a tumor bed or other selected target while the area is exposed during surgery. The radiation oncologist coordinates and manages the treatment in the operative setting with the surgical team; this is different from the technical act of delivering the beam.
Report 77469 for the management service when intraoperative radiation treatment is performed, and distinguish it from the modality-specific delivery service, such as intraoperative x-ray or electron treatment. Documentation should identify the operative treatment, the physician’s management work, and the relationship to the surgical procedure and radiation delivery. The code is not the selection for routine fraction-based radiation management or for stereotactic treatment management; those services have their own codes. CMS fee schedule data assigns work and practice expense values to this service.
