Summary
Humana Florida Medicaid now covers superficial radiation therapy (SRT) for treating non-melanoma skin cancers when surgery is contraindicated or refused, but specifically excludes image-guided superficial radiation therapy. This is a new policy establishing coverage for specific CPT codes with clear limitations.
Action Required
By April 6, 2026: Billing team must update system to allow billing of CPT codes 77436, 77437, 77438, and 77439 for superficial radiation therapy for Florida Medicaid members with non-melanoma skin cancers when surgery is contraindicated or refused. Ensure documentation supports medical necessity and contraindication to surgery. Do not bill for image-guided superficial radiation therapy as it is excluded from coverage.
