About 97007: Mechanical scalp cooling measurement and fitting
Reports measuring and fitting a mechanical scalp-cooling system for a patient preparing to use scalp cooling during chemotherapy.
97007 covers measuring the patient’s head and fitting the mechanical scalp-cooling system, including selecting an appropriately sized cooling cap. Oncology practice staff or trained scalp-cooling personnel typically perform this preparatory service for patients using scalp cooling to reduce chemotherapy-related hair loss. It addresses the fitting stage, rather than preparing and placing the system for a treatment session or providing cooling after chemotherapy.
Select 97007 when the documented service is measurement and fitting; use the neighboring scalp-cooling codes for the other phases actually performed. Documentation should identify the fitting service and the system or cap fitted. CMS PFS data assign 0 work RVUs, 50.72 practice-expense RVUs in both office and facility settings, and 0.03 malpractice RVUs.
