Oncology Billing Codes

Oncology billing codes are specific numerical codes used by healthcare providers to document and bill for cancer-related treatments and services. These codes, part of a standardized system like the CPT (Current Procedural Terminology) and ICD (International Classification of Diseases), help ensure that medical services are accurately categorized for insurance reimbursement. They cover a range of activities, including consultations, tests, treatments, and follow-up care. Proper use of these codes is crucial for healthcare providers to receive payment and for patients to understand their costs and coverage related to cancer treatment.
