Follow-up. The difference between aftercare and follow-up is the type of care the physician renders. Aftercare implies the physician is providing related treatment for the patient after a surgery or procedure. Follow-up, on the other hand, is surveillance of the patient to make sure all is going well.

Categories Z00-Z99 are provided for occasions when circumstances other than a disease, injury or external cause classifiable to categories A00 -Y89 are recorded as 'diagnoses' or 'problems'. This can arise in two main ways:

A type 2 excludes note indicates that the condition excluded is not part of the condition it is excluded from but a patient may have both conditions at the same time. When a type 2 excludes note appears under a code it is acceptable to use both the code ( Z48) and the excluded code together.
The following ICD-10-CM codes support medical necessity and provide coverage for CPT/HCPCS codes: 77373, 77435, G0339, and G0340 for SBRT.
Usually, a radiation oncologist will work with a neurosurgeon to perform SRS. Radiation oncologists and neurosurgeons have separate CPT codes for SRS. CPT codes 61796 – 61800 are reported for the work attributed to the neurosurgeon. These codes are mutually exclusive with the radiation oncology CPT codes 77432 and 77435; therefore, the same physician should not bill for both these codes.
CPT code 77432 can only be reported one time per session of single fraction cranial SRS. If cranial SRS is delivered in two to five fractions, CPT code 77435 should be reported once for the entire course of treatment. It is not appropriate to bill CPT code 77432 for the first fraction and CPT code 77427, 77431, or 77435 for the remaining fractions for the same treatment volume. CPT codes 77427 and 77431 are not utilized in SRS or SBRT treatment management.
A prolonged (four to six weeks) course of cranial radiation therapy should be billed using appropriate codes for conventionally fractionated radiotherapy. Fractionated stereotactic cranial and body radiotherapy codes apply only to hypofractionated (one to five fractions) radiosurgery using large doses per fraction.

Metastatic brain or spine lesions, with stable systemic disease, Karnofsky Performance Status 40 or greater (or expected to return to 70 or greater with treatment), and otherwise reasonable survival expectations, OR an Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) Performance Status of 3 or less (or expected to return to 2 or less with treatment). Note that the higher a Karnofsky Performance Status is, the better a patient is doing. However, the lower an Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) Performance Status is, the better a patient is doing.
SBRT is indicated for primary tumors and tumors metastatic to the lung, liver, kidney, adrenal gland, or pancreas.

Unlike the radiation oncology codes, which break many services out separately, the radiosurgery codes include services such as treatment planning, dosimetry, targeting, blocking, and positioning. The neurosurgeon who reports the stereotactic radiosurgery codes, should not report codes from the radiation treatment management code series (77427-77435).#N#When coding services for both the neurosurgeon and the radiation oncologist, remember each specialty has its own set of codes to capture radiation treatment management. Medical record documentation must indicate clearly who performed the services, and care must be taken to ensure the same services are not billed by both departments under the same codes.#N#Janice G. Jacobs, CPA, CPC, CCS, ROCC, is a director in Huron Consulting Group’s Life Sciences Advisory Services Practice with over 25 years of health care billing, coding, and reimbursement experience. During her career, she has performed documentation, coding, billing, and charge description master (CDM) reviews. She recently served as interim director of coding compliance at a major West Coast academic medical center, where she worked with the Radiation Oncology department. She is a certified public accountant licensed in Pennsylvania, and serves on the National Advisory Board (NAB) of the AAPC.
Beginning in January 2009, 61793 was deleted because it no longer described adequately services the neurosurgeon performed. In its place, seven new codes were added to identify and capture better these services:
Use CPT ® 61796 and add-on 61797 for simple cranial lesions of less than 3.5 cm at their maximum dimension that do not otherwise meet the criteria for complex lesions (as outlined below).#N#Use code 61798 and add-on code 61799 for complex cranial lesions. All lesions that are 3.5 cm or greater at their maximum dimension are considered complex. “Any lesion [regardless of size] that is adjacent (within 5mm) of the optic nerve, optic chasm, optic tract, or within the brainstem is complex,” according to CPT ® instruction.#N#For example, a patient presents with two astrocytomas of the frontal lobe, one 2 cm and the other 1.5 cm. Correct coding in this case is 61796, 61797.#N#In a second example, a patient presenting with a 4.0 cm glioblastoma of the temporal lobe is coded as 61798.#N#When coding for treatment of multiple lesions, if one of the lesions is complex, report 61798 with 61799 for each additional lesion. Do not use 61796 at the same time as 61798.#N#For example, a patient presents with two gliomas within the brain stem, one 2.5 cm and the other 1.0 cm. Correct coding is 61798, 61799.#N#When performing a procedure that creates a therapeutic lesion, such as a thalamotomy or pallidotomy, report a single unit of CPT ® code 61798 regardless of the number of therapeutic lesions created.#N#For example, a patient presents with Parkinson’s Disease and the neurosurgeon performs a therapeutic pallidotomy. During the procedure a small part of the globus pallidus is destroyed. This creates a scar that relieves symptoms, such as tremors and rigidity, and improves balance. Correct coding is 61798.#N#Note: Because computer-assisted planning is included in 61796-61799; add-on code 61795 Stereotactic computer-assisted volumetric (navigational) procedure, intracranial, extracranial, or spinal is not used with those codes.#N#As illustrated in the above examples, primary stereotactic radiosurgery codes 61796 and 61798 are reported only once per course of treatment. Also, add-on codes 61797 (simple) and 61799 (complex) are not reported more than four times in any combination for the entire course of treatment, regardless of how many lesions are being treated.#N#CPT ® code 61800 is used for the application of a stereotactic headframe for immobilization during stereotactic radiosurgery, and does not include the removal (which typically is performed by the radiation oncologist after treatment delivery). The removal (if performed by a physician other than the one who placed the headframe) is coded separately using 20665 Removal of tongs or halo applied by another physician.
Stereotactic radiosurgery is a noninvasive method of delivering external radiation to eradicate or immobilize tumors or other abnormalities using highly-focused gamma rays or X-ray beams that converge on the area of interest with minimal damage to the surrounding tissues.
The coordination of care for a patient diagnosed with a lesion of the nervous system requires a team of professionals including: the neurosurgeon and the radiation oncologist, as well as the physicist, dosimetrist, and radiation therapist/technician. The radiation oncologist and neurosurgeon oversee the treatment and monitor results.
