Brachytherapy device developer Xoft said that the American Medical Association (AMA) Common Procedural Terminology (CPT) editorial panel has recently approved a CPT code for electronic brachytherapy.
The CPT code became effective July 1. In addition, the category III CPT Code 0182T has been assigned a New Technology Ambulatory Payment Classification (APC); the APC payment includes the high dose-rate electronic brachytherapy radiation treatment and the cost of the x-ray source, according to the Fremont, CA-based firm.
