FCDS has been working diligently to remind registrars to document the Phase I Treatment Modality (source of radiation) in the Treatment Text for Radiation for a number of years – even before the new radiation modality codes were introduced along with coding of 3 phases of radiation therapy at CoC Accredited Cancer Programs. 

FCDS would like to share some feedback regarding our requirements for Operative Findings and Surgical TX Text, referred to as RX Text-Surgery and Text-Dx Proc-Op. Many registrars think they are the same thing – they are not.
