How the 2016 CPT Coding Changes will Affect Radiation Oncology Practices on December 9, 2015

There are relatively few CPT1 coding changes for radiation oncology treatments in store for 2016, at least when compared with diagnostic and interventional radiology.  CMS, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, is still considering and revising a new set of codes for radiation treatment delivery that was proposed in 2015 but not yet implemented.  When implementation does occur, these codes will most likely not involve valuation differences, although this in an uncertainty until CMS takes action in some future year.
