Expert Guidance for 2027 Reimbursement Rules

December 1, 2026 • 12:00 PM ET (9:00 AM PT)

Our expert speakers for this webinar:

Anticipating the publication of the 2027 CMMS Final Rules in the near term, we’re hosting a timely webinar to review the impact of the new radiation treatment delivery codes on billing for surface guidance.

Agenda:

Hear the latest reimbursement, coverage and health policy updates relevant to Surface Guided Radiation Therapy (SGRT) from experts at Radiation Business Solutions and Vision RT.

Highlights:

  • Overview of the CMMS 2027 Final Rules
  • Billing best practices for SGRT use
  • Recent payor insights
  • Documentation resources
  • Plenty of time for Q&A at the end

Under the 2026 Final Rules, active motion management is now included in higher-complexity radiation treatment delivery codes. These changes present an opportunity for clinics to expand their usage of Surface Guided Radiation Therapy (SGRT), to benefit their patients.

American Medical Association (AMA) definitions:

Active Motion Management
+

Treatment delivery with active motion management (77412) includes intra-fraction localization and tracking of the target(s) or patient motion to optimize beam delivery (eg, intra-fraction motion, surface guidance). Intra-fraction motion management utilizes fiducials or imaging to monitor the target or organs at risk during the breathing cycle (eg, during a deep inspiration breath hold). This method minimizes organ motion and allows more accurate delivery of radiation to mobile targets and active avoidance of OAR.

Surface Guidance
+

Surface guidance for active motion management is a technique that allows the linear accelerator to perform gating (eg, optical) during treatment delivery using the body surface contour as a surrogate for internal target motion and OAR avoidance. Surface guidance is one method to effect active motion management, although there are other methods as well.

Note: This is not for patient set-up prior to treatment delivery (eg, not to replace tattoos).
