HCPCS 77520

Proton beam delivery to a single treatment area, single port, custom block, with or without compensator, with directed portal verifications(s); simple, without compensation

AI EXPLANATION: Proton beam therapy is an advanced form of radiation treatment that uses positively charged particles rather than standard X-rays to target tumors. During this procedure, a single, carefully shaped beam delivers radiation to one designated area. Medical teams use custom-molded blocks to direct the beam precisely to the treatment site while protecting surrounding healthy tissue, accompanied by imaging checks to verify accurate alignment before treatment.
