We all deal with denials for IMRT, IGRT, SBRT, etc. I have a patient with an extensive GEJ tumor that was denied coverage for 4DCT or VMAT (so I had to bill everything per plan). This morning I got this beauty in my inbox regarding the same patient:
"Please draft a letter of necessity for 3DCRT for ************* "
Necessity for 3DCRT? Is someone seriously implying we should think about using 2D planning for a definitive GEJ case (or any definitive case for that matter)? This feels like a new low to me and an epic waste of time and resources.
