Insurance Information for Patients

​

Radiation therapy is a complex treatment consisting of many tasks performed by a number of people. In this way, it is similar to other specialized medical treatments such as major surgery. Most insurance companies will cover the cost of the radiation therapy; however, if you do not have insurance, or have only limited insurance, please discuss your situation with our physicians so your case can be reviewed.

​

Charges for radiation oncology typically include:

• Physician’s fee, which includes consultation and review of your records

• Treatment planning (determining the method and dose of radiation utilized)

• Field settings (determining the area to treat with specials x-rays or scans)

• Daily therapy (management and supervision of your daily treatments)

• Verification films (to verify that the correct area is being treated)

• Special blocks (custom-fabricated or generated blocks used for blocking the area not treated).

• Use of equipment and supplies

 

Be sure to provide us information on all your insurance policies including cancer policies. We will file all of these for you.
