15902                                                 Megavoltage planning—level 1.1                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                           725.45
                                                      Simple complexity single‑field radiation therapy simulation and dosimetry for treatment planning, without imaging for field setting, if:
                                                      (a) all of the following apply in relation to the simulation:
                                                      (i) the simulation is to one site;
                                                      (ii) localisation is based on clinical mark‑up and image‑based simulation is not required;
                                                      (iii) patient set‑up and immobilisation techniques are suitable for two‑dimensional radiation therapy treatment, with wide margins and allowance for movement; and
                                                      (b) all of the following apply in relation to the dosimetry:
                                                      (i) the planning process is required to deliver a prescribed dose to a point, either at depth or on the surface of the patient;
                                                      (ii) based on review and assessment by a radiation oncologist, the planning process does not require the differential of dose between target, organs at risk and normal tissue dose;
                                                      (iii) delineation of structures is not possible or required, and field borders will delineate the treatment volume;
                                                      (iv) doses are calculated in reference to a point, either at depth or on the surface of the patient, from tables, charts or data from a treatment planning system
                                                      Applicable once per course of treatment
