What 77432 covers
77432 represents physician management of a complete stereotactic radiation course delivered in one session to one or more cranial lesions. It is used in stereotactic radiosurgery, commonly for intracranial targets treated by a radiation oncology team. The code describes the physician’s professional work, not the equipment-based delivery of radiation.
Select this code when the cranial stereotactic treatment course is completed in one session; a different management code is used for stereotactic body radiation therapy. Documentation should identify the cranial target or targets, the single-session course, and the physician’s management, interpretation, and report. CMS classifies 77432 as professional-component-only: the physician claim covers interpretation and report, while a separate code covers the technical portion of treatment delivery.
