About This Procedure
Radiation therapy uses high-energy beams to kill cancer cells and shrink tumors. May be used alone or combined with other treatments.
Why do these costs look low?
These figures represent Medicaid reimbursement rates — the amounts that state Medicaid programs actually paid providers. Medicaid typically reimburses significantly less than private insurance or out-of-pocket prices. If you have private insurance or are paying cash, expect higher costs. See the cost components below for per-code averages.
